The Financial Transparency System (FTS) is an online public database of beneficiaries of funding from the EU budget implemented directly by the Commission (at Headquarters or in EU delegations to non-EU countries) and other EU bodies such as executive agencies ('direct management'), and beneficiaries of the European Development Fund. What can users find on this website? Citizens can access beneficiary details (such as name, VAT number, address, beneficiary type, etc.) as well as financial data (such as committed and consumed amounts, funding type, nature of expenditure, etc.) directly within the FTS Analyse webpage (https://ec.europa.eu/budget/financial-transparency-system/analysis.html) or download yearly datasets from the FTS Help Page (https://ec.europa.eu/budget/financial-transparency-system/help.html). The publication for any given year is added to the website in June of the following year.

In its policy, the European Union intervenes when necessary to prevent conflict or in response to emerging or actual crises. In certain cases, EU intervention can take the form of restrictive measures or 'sanctions'. The application of financial sanctions and more precisely the freezing of assets constitutes an obligation for both the public and private sector. In this regard, a particular responsibility falls on credit and financial institutions, since they are involved in the bulk of financial transfers.

In order to facilitate the application of financial sanctions, the European Banking Federation, the European Savings Banks Group, the European Association of Co-operative Banks, the European Association of Public Banks ("the EU Credit Sector Federations") and the European Commission recognised the need for an EU consolidated list of persons, groups and entities subject to financial sanctions and more precisely the freezing of assets. The Credit Sector Federations set up an initial database containing the consolidated list. The European Commission subsequently took over this database and is responsible for its maintenance and for keeping the consolidated list of sanctions up-to-date. In this respect, the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI) of the European Commission launched a new Web page in June 2017, where the consolidated lists of financial sanctions consisting in freezing of assets are published in different formats (see link below).

Disclaimer: While every effort is made to ensure that the database and the consolidated list correctly reproduce all relevant data of the officially adopted texts published in the Official Journal of the European Union, neither the Commission nor the EU Credit Sector Federations accepts any liability for possible omissions of relevant data or mistakes, and nor for any use the database or of the consolidated list. Only the information published in the Official Journal of the EU is deemed authentic.

This table contains information on the balance sheet of the general government sector. The information is limited to financial assets and liabilities. For each reporting period the opening and closing stocks, financial transactions and other changes are shown. Transactions are economic flows that are the result of agreements between units. Other changes are changes in the value of assets or liabilities that do not result from transactions such as revaluations or reclassifications. The figures are consolidated which means that flows between units that belong to the same sector are eliminated. As a result, assets and liabilities of subsectors do not add up to total assets or liabilities of general government. For example, loans of the State provided to social security funds are part of loans of the State. However, these are not included in the consolidated assets of general government, because it is an asset of a government unit with a government unit as debtor. Financial assets and liabilities in this table are presented at market value. 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.

Data available from: Yearly figures from 1995, quarterly figures from 1999.

Status of the figures: The figures for the period 1995-2023 are final. The figures for 2024 and 2025 are provisional.

Changes as of 24 June 2025: The figures for the first quarter of 2025 are available. Figures for 2023 and 2024 have been adjusted due to updated information. The figures for 2023 are final. In the context of the revision policy of National accounts, the dividend tax has been adjusted as of the fourth quarter of 2006. The revised registration aligns more closely with the accrual principle of ESA 2010.

Changes as of 10 April 2025: Due to an error made while processing the data, the initial preliminary figures for the government financial balance sheet in 2024 were calculated incorrectly. This causes a downward revision in other accounts payable.

When will new figures be published? Provisional quarterly figures are published three months after the end of the quarter. In September the figures on the first quarter may be revised, in December the figures on the second quarter may be revised and in March the first three quarters may be revised. Yearly figures are published for the first time three months after the end of the year concerned. Yearly figures are revised two times: 6 and 18 months after the end of the year. 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 most actual figures. Revised yearly figures are published in June each year. Quarterly figures are aligned to the three revised years at the end of June. More information on the revision policy of Dutch national accounts and government finance statistics can be found under 'relevant articles' under paragraph 3.

Sampling Procedure Comment: Probability Sample: Multistage Stratified Random Sample

This statistics bank shows how business has made use of ordinary and extraordinary support schemes throughout the corona crisis.

A number of measures were initiated to increase activity in Norwegian business, prevent unnecessary closures and to get as many people as possible into work during the corona crisis. Several actors in the industry-oriented instrument apparatus were given additional tasks and new extraordinary measures were created, such as the compensation scheme through the Tax Agency.

In order to be able to monitor the use of the measures, the Ministry of Trade and Fisheries has commissioned Innovation Norway to expand its reporting to include regularly updated data on how the measures affect business. Innovation Norway has, with assistance from Societal Economic Analysis, also obtained information on schemes other than its own in order to get a more complete picture of the use of measures.

The statistics bank contains statistics on allocations per week from the business-oriented policy apparatus. The statistics bank is updated every month and contains data from week 1 of 2020.

Since 2004, Poland has received nearly *** billion euros from the European Union budget. During this period, membership payments to the EU budget amounted to over **** billion euros. The most significant net inflows were in 2020 and amounted to around ***** billion euros, including reimbursements to the EU budget of ******* euros.Composition of the budget of the European Union The EU budget is financed from various sources, including contributions based on the gross national income of individual EU member states, which are determined by their level of wealth. Additionally, customs duties on imports from non-EU countries contribute to the budget, as does a small portion of the value-added tax collected by member states. Poland compared to the rest of Europe In 2023, Germany stood out as the largest contributor to the EU budget by a significant margin. Overall, the spending of the larger Western European nations far exceeded that of smaller countries and those in Eastern Europe. Simultaneously, it became apparent that Poland received more support from EU funds than any other member state.

The results show that 18% of EU citizens display a high level of financial literacy, 64% a medium level, and the remaining 18% a low level. There are, however, wide differences across Member States. In only four Member States, more than one quarter of citizens score highly in financial literacy (the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Slovenia). The results also point to the need for financial education to target in particular women, younger people, people with lower income and with lower level of general education who tend to be on average less financially literate than other groups.

This table contains information on the finances of the general government sector. The terms and definitions used are in accordance with the framework of the National Accounts. The 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.

Data available from: Yearly figures from 1995, quarterly figures from 1999.

Status of the figures: The figures for the period 1995-2022 are final. The quarterly figures for 2023 are provisional. The annual figures for 2023 are final. The figures for 2024 and 2025 are provisional.

Changes as of 24 June 2025: The figures for the first quarter of 2025 are available. The quarterly figures for 2022 and the annual figures for 2023 are final now. In the context of the revision policy of National accounts, the annual figures from 1995 and the quarterly figures from 1999 have been revised. (Seasonal adjusted) government revenue, (seasonal adjusted) government expenditure and (seasonal adjusted) balance of general government have been adjusted. Additionally, government revenue has been adjusted as of the fourth quarter of 2006 related to the dividend tax. The revised registration aligns more closely with the accrual principle of ESA 2010.

Changes as of 10 April 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. It concerns a decrease in government expenditure. Therefore, the general government balance is 2.3 billion euros higher than originally reported. This means the government deficit is equivalent to 0.9 percent of GDP, rather than the 1.1 percent published previously. (Seasonal adjusted) government revenue, (seasonal adjusted) government expenditure and (seasonal adjusted) balance of general government have been adjusted.

When will new figures be published? Initial quarterly figures are published three months after the end of the quarter.

The European State Finance Database (ESFD) is an international collaborative research project for the collection of data in European fiscal history. There are no strict geographical or chronological boundaries to the collection, although data for this collection comprise the period between c.1200 to c.1815. The purpose of the ESFD was to establish a significant database of European financial and fiscal records. The data are drawn from the main extant sources of a number of European countries, as the evidence and the state of scholarship permit. The aim was to collect the data made available by scholars, whether drawing upon their published or unpublished archival research, or from other published material.
The ESFD project at the University of Leicester serves also to assist scholars working with the data by providing statistical manipulations of data and high quality graphical outputs for publication. The broad aim of the project was to act as a facilitator for a general methodological and statistical advance in the area of European fiscal history, with data capture and the interpretation of data in key publications as the measurable indicators of that advance. The data were originally deposited at the UK Data Archive in SAS transport format and as ASCII files; however, data files in this new edition have been saved as tab delimited files. Furthermore, this new edition features documentation in the form of a single file containing essential data file metadata, source details and notes of interest for particular files.

Main Topics:

The files in this dataset relate to the datafiles held in the Leicester database in the directory /rjb/sweden/*.*.
