Total government

The general government sector consists of 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.
The sector general government primarily consists of all entities (covered by public law) that carry out activities regarding the redistribution of income and wealth. In the Netherlands this concerns ministries, municipalities, provinces, water boards and the like. In the second place general government consists of entities that are controlled and mainly financed by the aforementioned entities, and do not produce for the market. Non-market output means that the sale proceeds are structural less than 50 per cent of the production costs. In this way, for instance, Prorail and the Open University are counted to the general government.
Government institutions that are active abroad, like embassies, belong to the sector general government as well. On the other hand foreign embassies and international institutions, like Europol and the International Court of Justice, do not belong to the Dutch government.
Public enterprises (like the Dutch Railways, Amsterdam Airport (Schiphol), the Dutch Municipal Bank (BNG) and quasi-corporations are no part of the sector general government. The Dutch Central Bank (DNB) also does not belong to the sector general government.
The general government sector is split up into three subsectors: central government, local government and social security funds.

Central government

The subsector central government (excluding social security funds) includes all administrative departments of the state and other central agencies whose competence extends normally over the whole economic territory, except for the administration of social security funds.
The central government is a subsector of the general government sector.
Central government includes:
- the State (ministries and some budgetary funds such as the Municipalities Fund, the Provinces Fund and the Infrastructure Fund).
- universities.
- public corporate organisations like commodity boards.
- a group of national foundations and organisations.

Examples of national foundations and organisations are:
- research institutions linked to universities.
- charity, relief and educational organisations that are controlled and mainly financed by the government (for example Oxfam Novib).
- privatised national government services such as Statistics Netherlands.

Local government

The subsector local government (excluding social security funds) includes those types of public administration whose competence extends to only a local part of the economic territory, apart from local agencies of social security funds.
The local government is a subsector of the general government sector.
Local government includes:

- legally defined local private institutions, such as privatized educational institutions, museums, public libraries, the Youth Work Guarantee Plan and asylums.

Social security funds

The social security funds subsector includes central, state and local institutional units whose principal activity is to provide social benefits and which fulfil each of the following two criteria:
(a) by law or by regulation certain groups of the population are obliged to participate in the scheme or to pay contributions; and
(b) general government is responsible for the management of the institution in respect of the settlement or approval of the contributions and benefits independently from its role as supervisory body or employer.
There is usually no direct link between the amount of the contribution paid by an individual and the risk to which that individual is exposed.
The social security funds is a subsector of the general government sector.
Social security funds include:
- supervisory and executive bodies for social security regulations such as the Social Security Agency (UWV).
