General government debt by quarter
During the third quarter, central government debt diminished by EUR 4.5 billion, and stood at EUR 95.2 billion at the end of the quarter. During the quarter, the stock of central government's bonds decreased by EUR 1.7 billion, the stock of money market instruments by EUR 2.3 billion, and the stock of short-term loans by EUR 0.4 billion.

General government debt by quarter describes general government’s debt to other sectors of the national economy and to the rest of the world, and its development is influenced by changes in both unconsolidated debt and internal general government debts. Consolidated general government debt is derived by deducting debts between units recorded under general government from unconsolidated gross debt. For this reason, general government debt is smaller than the combined debts of its sub-sectors.
