摘要：The General Government and Financial Sector Statistics Department deals with the national
and fi nancial accounts of the general government sector and fi nancial enterprises as well as
with the calculation of government’s debt and defi cit.
In 2007, in cooperation with economics statisticians, the general government and fi nancial
sector indicators for the years 1995–1999 were revised in national accounts. As a result,
the time series of public fi nance statistics and fi nancial sector statistics were signifi cantly
extended and they became comparable in terms of time. In addition, methodology was
elaborated, for example, the indicators in the accounts of general government sector value
added were worked out for measuring individual consumption expenditures at constant
prices in the economic activities of education and health. In 2007, development of a
production programme based on the state accountancy balance data of the Ministry of
Finance’s state treasury department was started in Statistics Estonia. This allows to process
the fi nancial data of state accounting entities considerably faster than before and to produce
fi nance statistics on state agencies, local government agencies and state enterprises
according to the European System of Accounts (ESA95) methodology.
