Government at a Glance 2021
The 2021 edition includes input indicators on public finance and employment; process indicators include data on institutions, budgeting practices, human resources management, regulatory governance, public procurement, governance of infrastructure, public sector integrity, open government and digital government. Outcome indicators cover core government results (e.g. trust, political efficacy, inequality reduction) and indicators on access, responsiveness, quality and satisfaction for the education, health and justice sectors. Governance indicators are useful for monitoring and benchmarking governments’ progress in their public sector reforms.

Structure of government expenditures by economic transaction
Public expenditure can be classified by the economic nature of the transaction, for example payments of civil servants’ wages (employee compensation), financing subsidies, cash transfers such as pensions or unemployment benefits (social benefits), or the procurement of goods or services from the private sector that are used as inputs in the government production (intermediate consumption). This classification is ancillary to government expenditures by function, as it distinguishes broader categories of the government’s production function and its relationship with the economy.
