About this data
This table presents the Expenditure (or Uses) lines, not including the balancing items, for a simplified sequence of non-financial accounts from the generation of income account to the capital account. This table is designed to be used in conjunction with the tables entitled ‘Annual simplified non-financial accounts by institutional sector (Revenue)’ and ‘Annual simplified non-financial accounts by institutional sector (Balancing items)’. The data is presented for the economy of each country (or area) as a whole and also for Corporations (both non-financial and financial), General Government, and Households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs). The presentation is on a country-by-country basis. Users are recommended to select one country (or area) at a time in the ‘Reference area’ filter. Alternatively, specific lines within the sequence can be selected using the ‘Transaction’ filter to compare an item for combinations of sectors, countries and time periods. These indicators were presented in the previous dissemination system in the SNA_TABLE13 dataset. See ANA Changes for information on changes in methodology: ANA Changes.
