General government revenue grew more than expenditure in the 2nd quarter of 2007

General government revenue grew by 8.6 per cent in the second quarter of 2007 when comparing seasonally unadjusted data with the comparable data from the year before. The revenue items that grew most were income tax, property income, and taxes on production and imports. General government expenditure grew by 3.9 per cent. The expenditure items that grew most were social benefits in cash, compensation of employees, intermediate consumption and gross capital formation. The general government is comprised of central government, local government and social security funds. The data derive from Statistics Finland's quarterly statistics on general government revenue and expenditure.

The data for the two latest years are preliminary and will become revised as annual national accounts data are revised. The trend shown in the figure below has been calculated with the Tramo/Seats method. The trend can become revised in the coming periods as the preliminary data are revised. As the time series of annual accounts are revised, the time series of this set of statistics areis also revised. These data are based on the information on economic development available by 26 September 2007. The data will next be revised at the end of December 2007.
