This table contains information on the balance sheet of the general government sector. The balance sheet shows stock levels of assets and financial liabilities, as well as net worth of the general government sector. Assets are either financial (e.g. loans) or non-financial (e.g. non-residential buildings). The stock of assets equals the sum of the stock of financial liabilities and net worth. Stocks of assets and liabilities in this table are mostly valued at market value. This is the value of the asset or liability as if it were being acquired or sold on the date to which the balance sheet relates. When there are no observable market prices, estimates are made for the market value. Financial assets and liabilities that are not commonly traded on a market, such as cash, deposits, loans and other accounts receivable/payable are valued at nominal value.
The figures in this table are consolidated at the general government level. This means that stocks between units that both belong to the general government sector are eliminated.
The terms and definitions used are in accordance with the framework of the Dutch national accounts. National accounts are based on the international definitions of the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). Small temporary differences with publications of the National Accounts may occur due to the fact that the government finance statistics are sometimes more up to date.

Description topics
- Assets
- The assets recorded in the government balance sheet are economic assets. An economic asset is a store of value representing the benefits accruing to the economic owner by holding or using the entity over a period of time. It is a means of carrying forward value from one accounting period to another.
- Non-financial assets
- Non-financial assets are objects that have an economic value, on which property rights can be exerted and which do not have a financial character. In practice, this entails approximately all (non-financial) objects that can be sold. Examples of assets that cannot be sold are the sea and the air. Examples of assets that have a financial character are stocks and pensions. Non-financial assets consist of fixed assets, inventories, land and mineral reserves
- AN1123 Cost ownership transfer on land
- Costs related to the transfer of land.
- AN211 Total land

- AN2111A Land beneath dwellings
- Land beneath buildings that are used entirely or primarily as residences, including any associated structures, such as garages and all permanent fixtures customarily installed in residences. The value of the land underlying dwellings is defined as the difference between the value of the total real estate (land and buildings) and the value of the structures.
- AN2111B Land beneath building non-resi..
- Land beneath building non-residential buildings.
