DESCRIPTION
The idea is to construct a long homogeneous series, starting from the study conducted by Ezequiel Uriel Jiménez for the BBVA Foundation over 1990-1996. The balances of autonomous community fiscal accounts will be calculated for Central Government (comprising the State and its autonomous agencies, and the non transferred accounts of the Social Security). Fiscal balances will also be worked out for Central Government and the European Union.
The operations included will be all the non financial transactions used to calculate the Central Government surplus or deficit. The expectation is that by drawing up provisional estimates based on the budget projections of the government authorities studied, results can be provided for as early as the year that the study is published. These results can be used by researchers in need of statistical background, or even by politicians in public debates.
