  Data presentation - Detailed description Government finance statistics (GFS) provide a comprehensive overview of fiscal developments in the euro area, the European Union, and individual EU Member States.

Annual GFS data are based on the data transmitted at least twice a year to the European Central Bank (ECB) by the national central banks (NCBs). Quarterly GFS are based on the data transmitted by Eurostat and are defined by reference to the European System of Accounts 2010. Monthly government debt securities indicators are compiled from the security-by-security information collected in the ESCB’s Centralised Securities Database (CSDB). This information allows the compilation of the outstanding amounts, issuances, redemptions, average residual maturity, annual growth rates, schedules of maturing debt, and other indicators.

Government assistance to the financial sector is also referred to as financial assistance measures (FAM), this dataset is part of the GFS. These data are highly requested by economists to analyse the economic impact (actual and potential) of such public policy interventions, and by policymakers to attune fiscal policy instruments. Further information and analysis on FAM data can be found in the Statistics Paper Series.

GFS data presented in the ECB Statistical Data Warehouse (SDW) are organized within eight sub-categories:
