Public Finances Databank

The Public Finances Databank is a compilation of published data covering the main aspects of the Government Finances including receipts, expenditure, borrowing and debt. All the data are presented in clearly defined tables and charts which provide a quick and easy way of assessing past performance as well as showing forecasts for the future. Many of the data fields go as far back as the 1970's with the latest Treasury forecasts stretching to 2008-09.
