Notes:               Cash surplus or deficit is revenue (including grants) minus expense,
                     minus net acquisition of nonfinancial assets. In the 1986 GFS manual
                     nonfinancial assets were included under revenue and expenditure in
                     gross terms. This cash surplus or deficit is closest to the earlier
                     overall budget balance (still missing is lending minus repayments,
                     which are now a financing item under net acquisition of financial
                     assets).
