Fiscal assumptions: Revenue projections are made based on the macroeconomic assumptions and revenue buoyancy of various taxes (as measures by elasticity measures and staff's understanding of the authorities' tax policy measures). On the spending side, projections reflect the authorities' projections, with a few deviations to take into account key macroeconomic assumptions (e.g., WEO oil price for subsidies to the electricity company). Monetary projections are based on key assumptions on deposits growth, dollarization and credit to private sector.
Start/end months of reporting year: January/December
GFS Manual used: Government Finance Statistics Manual (GFSM) 2001. GFSM 2001 has been adopted but should be refined. Budgetary expenditure data are reported on a modified cash basis, corresponding to the issuance of payment orders.
Basis of recording: Mixed. Modified cash basis (only corrects for arrears)
General government includes: Central Government;
Valuation of public debt: Nominal value
Instruments included in gross and net debt: Currency and Deposits;. Information on the size of public assets is not available in case of Lebanon. Net debt is calculated as gross debt minus value of government’s accounts at the central bank.
