Table explanation
This table presents a number of key figures of the sector accounts. These main indicators provide the most important information on the total economy and on the main institutional sectors of the economy: non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government, households including non-profit institutions serving households and the rest of the world.
Data available from:
Annual figures from 1995.
Quarterly figures from first quarter 1999.
Status of the figures:
Annual figures from 1995 up to and including 2023 are final. Quarterly data from 2023 are provisional.
Changes as of March 26th 2026:
Data on the fourth quarter of 2025 and annual data on 2025 are available. The figures for 2024 and the first three quarters of 2025 have been revised. Figures for 2024 have been revised as a result of updated information on the government accounts. The revisions have an impact on several key figures.
Adjustment as of April 14th 2025:
Quarterly and annualy data of general government debt (EMU) of 2024 were incorrectly hidden in the last version of this table. This has been adjusted in this version.
Adjustment as of April 10th 2025:
Due to an error made while processing the data, the initial preliminary figures for government expenditure in 2024 were calculated incorrectly, which means that the figure published for the general government balance was also incorrect. We refer to the Government Finance Statistics for the current figures. Links to the Government Finance Statistics could be found in paragraph 3. Until the publication end of June the Sector accounts therefore diverge from the Government Finance Statistics.
When will new figures be published?
Annual figures:
The first annual data are published 85 day after the end of the reporting year as the sum of the four quarters of the year. Subsequently provisional data are published 6 months after the end of the reporting year. Final data are released 18 months after the end of the reporting year. Furthermore the sector accounts are annually revised for all reporting periods. These data are published each year in June.
Quarterly figures: The first quarterly estimate is available 85 days after the end of each reporting quarter. The first quarter may be revised in September, the second quarter in December. Should further quarterly information become available thereafter, the estimates for the first three quarters may be revised in March. If (new) annual figures become available in June, the quarterly figures will be revised again to bring them in line with the annual figures.
Please note that there is a possibility that adjustments might take place at the end of March or September, in order to provide the European Commission with the latest annual and quarterly figures.
Description topics
- Non-financial corporations
- The non-financial corporations sector consists of institutional units which are independent legal entities and market producers, and whose principal activity is the production of goods and non-financial services.
Non-financial corporations include:
- all corporations, quasi-corporations and co-operative organisations which do not belong to the financial corporations.
- all non-profit institutions which do not pertain to the other sectors. Examples are old people's homes, hospitals and housing corporations.
- public enterprises, which are fully or partly owned by the government, like Dutch Rail-ways (NS).- Profits from foreign subsidiaries
- Profits of foreign subsidiaries from non-financial corporations. The profits include both dividends received as well as reinvested earnings on foreign direct investment.
- Financial corporations
- The financial corporations sector consists of institutional units which are independent legal entities and market producers, and whose principal activity is the production of financial services. Such institutional units comprise all corporations and quasi-corporations which are principally engaged in:
- financial intermediation (financial intermediaries); and/or
- auxiliary financial activities (financial auxiliaries).
Financial intermediation is the activity in which an institutional unit acquires financial assets and incurs liabilities on its own account by engaging in financial transactions on the market. The assets and liabilities of financial intermediaries are transformed or repackaged in relation to, for example, maturity, scale, risk, etc. in the financial intermediation process. Auxiliary financial activities are activities related to financial intermediation but which do not involve financial intermediation themselves.
The financial corporations sector is subdivided into the following subsectors:
- central bank
- deposit-taking corporations except the central bank
- money market funds (MMFs)
- non-MMF investment funds
- other financial intermediaries, except insurance corporations and pension funds
- financial auxiliaries
- captive financial institutions and money lenders
- insurance corporations
- pension funds- Profits from foreign subsidiaries
- Profits of foreign subsidiaries from financial corporations, excluding captive financial institutions and money lenders. The profits include both dividends received as well as reinvested earnings on foreign direct investment received.
