In a direct communication, the source confirmed that the "other expenditure" series had been incorrectly labeled as "intermediate consumption." In response, we altered the mnemonic and metadata in Data Buffet and acquired the correct "other expenditure" series. Properties are otherwise unchanged.

The series reside in the historical catalog (Germany » Government » Government finance » Annual » NA def, from Deutsche Bundesbank) and are:

• NALNZGGUOTHUA.IDEU = Sector accounts: General government - Expenditure - Other Expenditure, (Mil. DEM/EUR)
• NALNZGGUICNUA.IDEU = Sector accounts: General government - Expenditure - Intermediate consumption, (Mil. DEM/EUR)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
