This table comprises figures related to debt guarantees provided by the general government sector, adjusted capital value of off-balance sheet public private partnerships (PPP), and non-performing loans. The figures are also available per government subsector, and are taken from end-of-year balance sheets.
The non-performing loans are consolidated which means that loans between units that belong to the same sector are eliminated. As a result, non-performing loans of subsectors do not add up to total non-performing loans of general government. For example, loans of the State provided to local government are part of loans of the State. However, these are not included in the consolidated loans of general government, because it is an asset of a government unit with a government unit as debtor.
Publication of this table meets one of the requirements of Directive EU 2011/85, part of the Enhanced Economic Governance package ("Sixpack") adopted by the European Council in 2011.

Status of the figures:
The figures for 2022 are provisional. The figures for the earlier years are final.

Changes as of 20 December 2023:
Provisional figures for 2022 have been published.
The final figures from 2010 to 2021 have been revised. The State's claims arising from export credit insurance were previously incorrectly not included as non-performing loans. These claims arise because the debtors do not fulfill their payment obligations to the insured. Repayments and interest payments can be delayed for a long time. That is why Statistics Netherlands considers these claims as non-performing loans.
Furthermore, the figures for 2020 and 2021 have also been adjusted because a number of loans to the Caribbean parts of the Dutch Kingdom were previously incorrectly not included as non-performing loans.
The figures for 2021 have become final.

When will new figures be published?
New provisional figures for the previous year will be published in October. Previous provisional figures will then become definite. More information on the revision policy of National Accounts can be found under "Relevant articles" under paragraph 3.

Value in million euros
Non-performing loans
Loans that have not been serviced for some time.

A loan is non-performing if (a) payments of interest or principal are 90 days or more past their due date; (b) interest payable of 90 days or more has been capitalised, refinanced, or delayed by agreement; or (c) payments are less than 90 days overdue, but there are other good reasons (e.g. debtor filing for bankruptcy) to doubt that payments will be made in full.
