December 2015 discontinued the IPCNu, stating that it was flawed, and released a
new CPI for the Greater Buenos Aires Area on June 15, 2016 (a new national CPI
index has been disseminated starting in June 2017). At its November 9, 2016,
meeting, the IMF Executive Board considered the new CPI series to be in line with
international standards and lifted the declaration of censure issued in 2013. Given
the differences in geographical coverage, weights, sampling, and methodology of
these series, the average CPI inflation for 2014, 2015, and 2016 and end-of-period

General Government (GG) data refers to the non-financial public sector, which
includes the federal, state and local governments as well as public enterprises
(excluding Petrobras and Eletrobras), and is consolidated with the Sovereign Wealth
Fund (SWF). Revenue and expenditures of federal public enterprises are added in
full to the respective aggregates. Transfers or withdrawals from the SWF do not
impact the primary balance. Disaggregated data on gross interest payments and
interest receipts is available from 2003 onwards only. Prior to 2003, Total Revenue
of the GG excludes interest receipts, while Total Expenditure of the GG includes
net interest payments. In 2015, interest income is negative to account for Central
Bank losses with swap operations. Fiscal assumptions: Fiscal projections for 2020
take into account the deficit target proposed in the budget guidance law and
reflect policy announcements as of March 31. Those for the medium term assume
compliance with the constitutional spending ceiling. Start/end months of reporting
2001. Total Revenue includes disposal of non financial assets, and Net Acquisition
of Nonfinancial Assets does not net out these proceeds. Basis of recording: Cash
Gross public debt includes the treasury bills at the central bank's balance sheet,
including those not used under repurchase agreements. -6.021 -10.254 -8.994

number, but actual data of some detailed components (e.g. interest payment) is not
available for 2018. Notes: Fiscal Balance: Data differ from official figures
released by China’s Ministry of Finance mainly because of a difference in treatment
of net contributions to the other accounts (e.g. Budget Stabilization Fund).
General Government Debt: Data differ from official figures released by China’s
Ministry of Finance because IMF numbers include, from 2010 onward, the stock of
local government debt outstanding as reported in the June 2011 National Audit

outlined in the same report. Fiscal assumptions: Fiscal expansion is estimated for

Source: Source: Central Bank and Ministry of Finance Latest actual data: 2019
Notes: The data for Ecuador reflect net lending/borrowing for the Non-Financial
Public Sector (NFPS). Ecuadorian authorities, in the context of the EFF approved in
March of 2019 and with the technical support from the IMF Staff, are undertaking
revisions of the historical fiscal data for the net-lending borrowing of the NFSP
with the view of correcting recently-identified statistical errors, mostly in the
recording of revenues and expenditures of the local governments. Fiscal data
reported in the table for 2018 and 2019 reflect the corrected series while the data
for earlier years are still under revisions and will be corrected in the subsequent
WEO releases as the authorities proceed with the corrections in the earlier years,
going as far back as 2012. The authorities are also working on reconciling
historical revenue and expenditure data with financing. Fiscal assumptions: All the
fiscal series are based on 1986 methodology. The authorities have adopted a non-
standard accounting methodology for budgetary purposes. Staff does not use this
methodology. Start/end months of reporting year: January/December GFS Manual used:
Government Finance Statistics Manual (GFSM) 1986 Basis of recording: Mixed General
government includes: Central Government; State Government; Local Government; Social
Security Funds; Nonfinancial Public Corporation; Valuation of public debt: In late
2016, the authorities changed the definition of debt to a consolidated basis; both
the historic (since 2001) and projection numbers are now presented on a
consolidated basis. The IMF’s definition of debt includes advanced oil sales,
treasury certificates, central bank loans, and domestic arrears that are excluded
from the official debt definition. The 40 percent of GDP debt limit applies only to
the official debt definition. Instruments included in gross and net debt:

Source: Government Development Bank of Puerto Rico; and Fiscal and Economic
Growth Plan Latest actual data: 2015/16 Notes: Last available fiscal data are from
FY 2015/16. Fiscal assumptions: Fiscal projections are based on the Puerto Rico
Fiscal and Economic Growth Plans (FEGPs), which were prepared in October 2018, and
certified by the Oversight Board. In line with assumptions of this plan, IMF
projections assume federal aid for rebuilding after Hurricane Maria devastated the
island in September 2017. The projections also assume revenue losses from the
following: Puerto Rico will lose federal funding for the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
starting in 2020; federal tax incentives, which were neutralizing the effects of
Puerto Rico’s Act 154 on foreign companies, will begin to decline starting in 2018;
and the effects of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which reduce tax advantage of U.S.
companies producing in Puerto Rico will narrow this revenue base. Given sizable
policy uncertainty, some FEGP and IMF assumptions may differ, in particular, those
relating to the effects of the corporate tax reform, tax compliance and tax
adjustments (fees and rates); reduction of subsidies, freezing of payroll
operational costs, improvement of mobility, and reduction of expenses; and
increasing health care efficiency. On the expenditure side, measures include
extension of Act 66, which freezes much government spending, through 2020;
reduction of operating costs; decreases in government subsidies; and spending cuts
in education. Although IMF policy assumptions are similar to those in the FEGP
scenario with full measures, the IMF’s projections of fiscal revenues,
expenditures, and balance are different from FEGP’s. This stems from two main
differences in methodologies. First, IMF projections are on an accrual basis,
FEGP’s are on a cash basis. Second, the IMF and FEGP make very different
macroeconomic assumptions. Start/end months of reporting year: July/June GFS Manual
used: Government Finance Statistics Manual (GFSM) 2001 Basis of recording: Accrual.
IMF calculations are based on an accrual basis, whereas authorities' calculations
are based on a cash basis. General government includes: General government is
defined as all general governmental entities, excluding Puerto Rico Electric Power
Authority (PREPA) and Puerto Rico Aqueducts and Sewers Authority (PRASA). General
government entities include the General Fund, Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing
Authority (PRIFA), Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA), Puerto
Rico Industrial Development Company (PRIDCO), Highways and Transportation Authority
(HTA), University of Puerto Rico (UPR), Government Development Bank of Puerto Rico
(GDB), and Municipal Revenues Collection Center (CRIM). In addition, pension funds
(ERS, TRS, and JRS) are also considered as part of general government. Valuation of
public debt: Current market value. Data for public debt have been provided by the
authorities. The definition of government for public debt data excludes PREPA and
PRASA and includes all other entities of general government in fiscal accounts.

payable Fiscal assumptions: Fiscal estimates for 2019 are based on the budget as
official fiscal data for 2019 are not yet released. Projections for 2020 are based
on the budget. IMF staff make fiscal projections from 2021 onwards assuming
convergence to Sweden’s medium-term surplus target of 0.3 percent of GDP. The
fiscal impact of cyclical developments is calculated using the OECD’s estimated
elasticities on output and employment gaps (Price, Dang and Guillemette (2014)).
Valuation of public debt: Nominal value. Nominal Value debt valuation is consistent
with Eurostat's definition Instruments included in gross and net debt: Currency and
Deposits; Securities Other than Shares; Loans;. Net debt is defined as gross debt
minus the asset holdings of currency and deposits, debt securities, and loans.

of transferring assets from the Royal Mail Pension Plan to the public sector in

Repatriation tax on foreign earnings (a provision of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act), estimated at $250 billion, which accrued at end-2017 and recorded as capital
transfer to the government in the GFS, was removed from government revenue. Staff's
baseline projection embeds the impact of this tax provision over time to reflect
the fact that corporations have eight years to pay off this tax liability. Notes:
Revenue, expenditure, and net lending data are is compiled using SNA 2008, and when
translated into GFS this is in accordance with GFSM 2014. Due to data limitations,
most series begin 2001. Fiscal assumptions: Fiscal projections are based on the
January 2020 Congressional Budget Office baseline adjusted for the IMF staff’s
policy and macroeconomic assumptions. Projections then incorporate the effects of
the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, the
Families First Coronavirus Response Act, and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (all signed in March 2020). Finally, fiscal projections are
adjusted to reflect the IMF staff’s forecasts for key macroeconomic and financial
variables and different accounting treatment of financial sector support and of
defined-benefit pension plans and are converted to a general government basis. Data

Starting from October 2018, the public pension system has been receiving transfers
in the context of a new law that compensates persons affected by the creation of
the mixed pension system. These funds are recorded as revenues, consistent with
IMF’s methodology. Therefore, data and projections for 2018 – 2022 are affected by
these transfers, which amounted to 1.3 percent of GDP in 2018 and are projected to
be 1.2 percent of GDP in 2019, 0.9 percent of GDP in 2020, 0.4 percent of GDP in
2021, 0.2 percent of GDP in 2022 and zero percent thereafter. Please see IMF
country report No. 19/64 for further details. The disclaimer about the public
pension system applies only for the revenues and net lending/borrowing series.
