Government; debt guarantees, off-balance PPP, non-performing loans

This table comprises figures related to debt guarantees provided by the general government sector, adjusted capital value of off-balance sheet public private partnerships (PPP), and non-performing loans. The figures are also available per government subsector, and are taken from end-of-year balance sheets. The non-performing loans are consolidated which means that loans between units that belong to the same sector are eliminated. As a result, non-performing loans of subsectors do not add up to total non-performing loans of general government. For example, loans of the State provided to local government are part of loans of the State. However, these are not included in the consolidated loans of general government, because it is an asset of a government unit with a government unit as debtor. Publication of this table meets one of the requirements of Directive EU 2011/85, part of the Enhanced Economic Governance package ("Sixpack") adopted by the European Council in 2011.

The annual figures for 2010 through 2022 have been revised. The revision is at the level of the local government sector. For this sector, several guarantees have been removed from the time series because the primary risk bearer for those guarantees is not the local government sector but the Waarborgfonds Sociale Woningbouw (WSW). Furthermore, these guarantees were actually already included in central government as part of to the reclassification of WSW within this governmental sector.

When will new figures be published? New provisional figures for the previous year will be published in October. Previous provisional figures will then become definite. More information on the revision policy of National Accounts can be found under "Relevant articles" under paragraph 3.
