Data presentation - Summary description |
The EDP dataset includes data on government debt and deficit reported under the Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP), which is part of the corrective arm of the European Union Stability and Growth Pact (link). Three series are available for EU Member States, euro area and the European Union: deficit/surplus, consolidated general government debt, and interest expenditure. The data are available either in euro or in national currency or as a percentage of GDP. The reference values for government deficit and debt are based on concepts defined in the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). The surplus (+)/deficit (-) of the general government sector is in the national accounts referred to as the net lending (+)/borrowing (-) (B.9). The government debt is defined as the total consolidated gross debt at face value in the following categories of government liabilities (defined in ESA 2010): currency and deposits, debt securities and loans. EU aggregates do not cover EU institutions debt and euro area aggregates do not cover euro area government institutions debt. |
