The GFS was frozen by the IMF in November 2014 during the GFSM 2014 migration (see related article) and revived in July 2016.
In response, we have archived all the predecessor series (GFSM 2001, 1980-2014) by marking their metadata as "discontinued" and by segregating in the catalog. The replacements (GFSM 2014) start as early as 1972. Figures are local currencies, U.S. dollars (USD), euros (EUR), percent (%) or rates (Rate). Geo coverage is nominally 196 countries, but our extract has 179. Not all concept-geo pairs exist.
The active series reside in the historical catalog (Cross-Country Datasets » International Monetary Fund (IMF) » Government Finance Statistics (GFS) » GFSM 2014) and the predecessors under the associated "discontinued" node. They include, for example:
- IMFGFABA1SA.IDEU = [DISCONTINUED] Budgetary: Revenue, (Mil. EUR)
- IMFGFS%GGCBG33F63TUA.IARG = Budgetary central government [S.1311B] - Net incurrence of liabilities - Pension entitlements [GFS] - Total - As share of GDP, (%)
- IMFGFSLGCEG33EGGUA.IAUT = Extrabudgetary central government [S.13112] - Net incurrence of liabilities - External; General government, (EUR)
- IMFGFSLSSG62OFCUA.INZL = Social security funds [S.1314] - Stock position of financial assets - Other financial corporations, (NZD)
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.
