General Government sector includes institutional units which are other non-market producers and all institutional units principally engaged in the redistribution of national income and wealth. Non-market producers are units whose output is intended for individual and collective consumption. Their activity is mainly financed by compulsory payments made by units belonging to other sectors.
In Estonia the General Government sector comprises three sub-sectors:
- central government (State budget units and extra-budgetary funds, foundations, public-legal institutions)
- local government (city and commune administrations with their subsidiary units, foundations)
- social security funds (Health Insurance Fund, Unemployment Insurance Fund).
The term “public sector” is often used in the meaning of general government sector, although as a matter of fact, those terms are not synonymous. Public sector has a wider meaning: in addition to the general government sector the public sector includes also the corporations which are under the prevalent influence of the government, but classified to the corporations sector as a market producers according to the European System of the National Accounts (ESA95). In public corporations, the state, government agency or local government has more than 50% of votes.
Statistics Estonia publishes the list of units belonging to the general government sector twice a year: as of 01.01 and 01.07.
