Notes:               Net lending (+)/ borrowing (-) is calculated as revenue minus total
                     expenditure. This is a core Government Finance Statistics (GFS)
                     balance that measures the extent to which general government is either
                     putting financial resources at the disposal of other sectors in the
                     economy and nonresidents (net lending), or utilizing the financial
                     resources generated by other sectors and nonresidents (net borrowing).
                     This balance may be viewed as an indicator of the financial impact of
                     general government activity on the rest of the economy and
                     nonresidents (Government Finance Statistics Manual 2001 (GFSM 2001),
                     paragraph 4.17). Note: Net lending (+)/borrowing (-) is also equal to
                     net acquisition of financial assets minus net incurrence of
                     liabilities. A projection of this data can be found at
