Quarterly accounts for general government

In recent years Eurostat has significantly expanded the range of quarterly data available on government finances. These data now reflect non-financial, financial and debt aspects, and cover all countries in the European Union. This publication examines the main features of these data. Integrated data are now published quarterly on Eurostat's website for government finance statistics, providing a timely and increasingly high quality picture of the evolution of government finances in the EU. This publication includes data transmitted by Member States at the end of September 2008. They will be probably revised in the forthcoming transmission of end-December 2008.
