The government deficit for 2017 was €0.7 billion (-0.2% of GDP, -0.4% of GNI*), an improvement on the 2016 deficit of €1.5 billion (-0.5% of GDP, -0.8% of GNI*). 2017 saw increases in both government revenue (+3.9%) and expenditure (+2.9%) (Table 1).
At the end of 2017 government revenue was €76.5 billion. The upward trend in tax and social contribution revenues continued with increases of €2.8 billion (+5.3%) in Taxes and €0.6 billion (+5.0%) in Social contributions (Tables 1 and 3).
The main drivers behind the increase in government expenditure in 2017 to €77.3 billion were Compensation of employees/pay (+6.4%) and Social benefits (+2.0%). Debt service costs, or Interest, continued to decrease in 2017 (-5.8%) (Tables 1 and 4).
Around 33% of the 2017 deficit was due to interventions to support financial institutions (€244 million) with associated interest costs partly offset by dividend and investment income. Investment income fell over the period 2013-2017 as the State reduced its holdings in financial institutions (Table 1).
Government debt falls to 68.4% of GDP in 2017
The nominal general government gross debt (GG Debt) stood at €201.3 billion at the end of 2017 (68.4% of GDP, 111.1% of GNI*) compared with the 2016 figure of €200.7 billion (73.4% of GDP, 114.1% of GNI*). The increase in GDP in 2017 was the primary driver in the decrease of the debt to GDP ratio while nominal debt levels remained relatively flat in the year (Table 2).
On the financial assets side, the drivers behind the increase of €0.7 billion in 2017 were increases in Currency and deposits (+€2.5 billion), Other financial assets (+€1.5 billion) and a reduction in Equity and investment fund shares (-€2.9 billion) - principally relating to the sale of AIB shares held by the State.
At the end of 2017 general government net debt decreased by €1.5 billion to €175.6 billion (59.7% of GDP ). GG Debt increased by €0.6 billion, composed of rises in Currency and deposits (+€0.3 billion) and Debt securities (+€6.5 billion) together with a fall in Loans (-€6.2 billion) due to the repayment of loans to the IMF, Sweden and Denmark (Tables 2 and 7).

National accounts are compiled in the EU according to the European System of National Accounts 2010 (ESA2010) framework. This release contains the detailed tables as referenced in the provisional release published on 5 October 2018. The changes to the previously published tables under the Excessive Deficit Procedure in April 2018 reflect updated data sources - see Background notes. Tables included in the release show a reconciliation of the Exchequer Balance to the General Government Deficit (Table 8). Government Finance Statistics (GFS) annual results are benchmarked to the most recent EDP notification. Consequently, they may not always be fully aligned with the National Income and Expenditure and related publications such as the Institutional Sector Accounts. The main EDP notification tables for Ireland, details of government guarantees, PPPs and concessions and tables showing the impact of government interventions in the financial sector on government accounts will be published on 22 October, the same day as the Eurostat release of EDP statistics. |

Introduction
This release comprises the latest official publication by CSO of annual Government Finance Statistics (GFS) results for years 2012 to 2017.
The data published in this series are consistent with the General Government Deficit and Debt levels reported at end-September 2018 under the EU regulation governing the Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP). Consequently they may not always be fully aligned with the National Income and Expenditure 2018 (published in July 2018) and related publications such as the Institutional Sector Accounts.
The official publication by Eurostat of deficit and debt levels for all EU member states is due on 22 October 2018.
The tables provide detailed revenue, expenditure and balance sheet data for general government. These data are also available on CSO Statbank here.
The full suite of GFS tables are also available on the CSO website here.
Data for all EU Member States are available on Eurostat’s data base here.
Reclassification of Approved Housing Bodies to local government sub-sector (S.1313)
As of March 2018, 14 Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) have been reclassified to the local government sub-sector (S.1313) from the Non-Profit Institution Serving Households Sector (S.15). In addition, the housing activities of another non-profit organisation have been re-routed to the local government sub-sector.
The net lending/borrowing (B.9) of these organisations forms part of the net/lending borrowing (B.9) of the local government sector. For the current release this impact is recorded only for 2014 Q1 to 2018 Q1. For years prior to 2014, the full impact of the inclusion of AHBs has not been estimated. The only revisions to pre-2014 data is the re-coding of capital transfers (D.92) from local government to capital formation (P.51g) of local government. Thus the total revenue, expenditure and net lending/borrowing of local government are unchanged.
Details on the reclassification can be found here.
GDP figures used in publication
The GDP figures used in this publication are consistent with those published in the National Income and Expenditure 2018.
Modified Gross National Income (GNI*)
Modified Gross National Income (GNI*) is equal to Gross National Income at current market prices less the factor income of redomiciled companies, less depreciation on research and development related intellectual property imports and less depreciation on aircraft related to aircraft leasing.
Revisions to General Government Deficit/Surplus (GG Deficit/Surplus)
Estimates of the general government deficit have been revised since April 2018 reflecting the availability of more up-to-date and detailed data sources.
Revisions to General Government Debt (GG Debt)
Estimates of the general government debt have been revised since April 2018. Revisions are due to improved compilation processes and, in recent years, the availability of more up-to-date and detailed data sources.
Government Finance Statistics – Concepts and Definitions
Government Finance Statistics (GFS) form the basis for fiscal monitoring in Europe, in particular in relation to the Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP).
European GFS, including EDP statistics, are produced according to the legally binding accounting rules of the European System of Accounts (ESA2010). The Manual on Government Debt and Deficit (MGDD) provides further guidance on the implementation of ESA 2010 in the context of GFS.
EU Member States are required to report government deficit/surplus and debt data biannually under the EDP (before 1 April and 1 October in year N) for years N-4 to N-1 calendar years as well as a forecast for the current year. The data are reported in harmonised tables, which provide a consistent framework for the presentation of this data by Member States. The tables provide a structure for linking national budgetary aggregates with government deficit and debt.
Detailed statistics on government revenue and expenditure are also provided to Eurostat under the ESA transmission programme. For annual data the main tables reported are:
Table 0200 Revenue and expenditure of general government and sub-sectors
Tables 0900 and 0999 Taxes and national tax list
These data are available on the Eurostat website here .
Definition of General Government and its subsectors
The general government sector of the economy, is defined in ESA2010 paragraph 2.111: as “institutional units which are non-market producers whose output is intended for individual and collective consumption, and are financed by compulsory payments made by units belonging to other sectors, and institutional units principally engaged in the redistribution of national income and wealth.” General government comprises the sub-sectors central government (S.1311), state government (S.1312 – which does not apply in Ireland), local government (S.1313), and social security funds (S.1314 – which does not apply in Ireland),
General Government Deficit/Surplus (GG Deficit/Surplus) is the standard European measure of the fiscal balance, which is used to monitor compliance with the Stability and Growth Pact.
This measure is by definition equal to both Total Revenue (TR) less Total Expenditure (TE), and Net Acquisition of Financial Assets less Net Incurrence of Liabilities as shown in the GFS release.
A listing of some of the main items included in this release is shown below.
Main Components of General Government Expenditure and Revenue
P.2 Intermediate consumption – value of goods and services used in the process of production, excluding fixed assets
P.5 Gross capital formation
P.51g Gross fixed capital formation - acquisitions, less disposals, of fixed assets during a given period plus certain additions to the value of non-produced assets realised by productive activity. Fixed assets are tangible or intangible assets produced as outputs from processes of production that are themselves used repeatedly, or continuously, in processes of production for more than one year
P.51c Consumption of fixed capital - the amount of fixed assets used up, during the period under consideration, as a result of normal wear and tear and foreseeable obsolescence, including a provision for losses of fixed assets as a result of accidental damage which can be insured against.
P.52 Changes in inventories
P.53 Acquisitions less disposals of valuables
D.1 Compensation of employees – the total remuneration of government employees
D.29 Other taxes on production (payable) all taxes that enterprises incur as a result of engaging in production, independently of the quantity or value of the goods and services produced or sold. These include taxes on use or ownership of land or buildings, taxes on use of fixed assets, taxes on total wage bill and payroll, taxes on international transactions related to production.
D.3 Subsidies (payable) - current unrequited payments which general government or the institutions of the European Union make to resident producers, with the objective of influencing their levels of production, their prices or the remuneration of the factors of production
D.4 Property income accrues when the owners of financial assets and natural resources put them at the disposal of other units of the economy. The income payable for the use of financial assets is called investment income, while that payable for the use of a natural resource is called rent. Property income is the sum of investment income and rent.
D.41 Interest receivable by the owners of a financial asset for putting it at the disposal of another institutional unit - applies to deposits (AF.2), debt securities (AF.3), loans (AF.4) and other accounts payable (AF.8)
D.42 Dividends receivable by the owners of share equities. Dividends exclude "super dividends" which arise where the dividend paid is large relative to the recent level of dividends and earnings. Super dividends are recorded as withdrawal of equity (F.5). This arises, for example, in the case of dividends paid by the Central Bank in 2015.
D.45 Rent of a natural resource – income receivable by the owner of a natural resource for putting the resource at the disposal of another party.
D.5 Current taxes on income, wealth, etc., (payable) - all compulsory, unrequited payments, in cash or in kind, levied periodically by general government and by the rest of the world on the income and wealth of units in the economy, and some periodic taxes which are assessed neither on income nor wealth
D.6 Social contributions - transfers to households, in cash or in kind, intended to relieve them from the financial burden of a number of risks or needs.
D.7 Other current transfers – includes VAT and GNI based EU budget contributions, current transfers between subsectors of government, current international co-operation and current transfers to households and non-profit institutions.
D.9 Capital transfers - involve the acquisition or disposal of an asset, or assets, by at least one of the parties to the transaction. Includes capital taxes and investment grants.
P.1 Total output of Government is equal to market output, own account capital formation, and non-market output (i.e. the sum of D.1+P.2+P51c). The market output referred to in this publication is the imputed market value of social housing rented dwellings. See Table 3.
P.3 Final consumption expenditure of Government is equal to the total of its output (P.1) plus the expenditure on products/services supplied to households via market producers minus the sales of goods and services (at both market and non-market prices). This is made up of individual non-market services plus collective non-market services (P.31 and P.32). See Table 4.
