Table explanation
This table provides an overview of the non-financial transactions of the institutional sectors of the Dutch economy, distinguishing between uses and resources. Non-financial transactions consist of current transactions and transactions from the capital account. Furthermore, this table provides the main balancing items of the (sub)sectors.
Non-financial transactions are estimated for the main institutional sectors of the economy and the rest of the world.
Sectors are presented both consolidated and non-consolidated.
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 December 24th, 2025:
Data of the third quarter 2025 have been added in this table.
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.
Adjustment as of July 12th 2024:
Total consolidated resources and uses are adjusted for most sectors, due to a calculation error. For the sector rest of the world, the non-consolidated total resources and uses have also been adjusted. Imports and exports of goods and services were wrongly not included in the total resources and uses. For the sectors non-financial corporations and financial corporations, capital taxes (uses) were wrongly shown as empty cell (figure not applicable).
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 figures. Revised yearly figures are published in June each year.
