Government at a Glance provides readers with a dashboard of key indicators assembled with the goal of contributing to the analysis and international comparison of public sector performance. Indicators on government revenues, expenditures, and employment are provided alongside key output and outcome data in the sectors of education, health and justice. Government at a Glance also includes indicators on key governance and public management issues, such as transparency in governance, regulatory governance, public procurement and the implementation of employment and remuneration reforms since 2009. While measuring government performance has long been recognized as playing an important role in increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the public administration, following the economic crisis and fiscal tightening in many member countries, good indicators are needed more than ever to help governments make informed decisions regarding tough choices and help restore confidence in government institutions.

Structure of general government expenditures by economic transaction
Government expenditures go beyond production related expenditures. In a government budget perspective, economic transactions such as gross capital formation, social benefit payments, interest payments generated by the public debt and subsidies are also included determining the total government expenditures. All these transactions together have the advantage of better capturing on what government spends taxpayers’ money and also its ability to stimulate the demand.
