The General Government
Debt essentially includes the cumulative gross debt of the
local government sector and the non-commercial state sponsored
bodies as well as nearly all of the National Debt measured
on a gross basis. It excludes Central Government liabilities
to institutions classified within the General Government sector;
these are included in the National Debt.
|
|
It should be noted
that the National Debt is calculated net of domestic and foreign
liquid assets whereas the General Government Debt is calculated
on a gross basis. The debt of the commercial state bodies
is excluded from both National Debt and General Government
Debt.
|
|
The Finance Accounts
for each year contains a detailed breakdown of the National
Debt.
