List of countries by government budget

In the following table, for each country or territory, governments' revenue, expenditure, and net lending (+)/borrowing (-) figures from the IMF are shown, expressed as a percentage of GDP and in current USD, calculated on an exchange rate basis, i.e., not in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms. Sorting is alphabetical by ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code. Values are based upon GDP in national currency converted to U.S. dollars using market exchange rates (yearly average). Exchange rate projections are provided by country economists for the group of other emerging market and developing countries. Exchanges rates for advanced economies are established in the WEO assumptions for each WEO exercise. Expenditure-based GDP is total final expenditures at purchasers' prices (including the f.o.b. value of exports of goods and services), less the f.o.b. value of imports of goods and services. == World Bank ==

In the following table, for each country or territory, revenue, grants, and expense figures from World Bank are shown, expressed in million current local currency units (LCUs) and as a percentage of GDP. Sorting is alphabetical by ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code. == Central Intelligence Agency ==

In the following table, for each country or territory, revenues and expenditures figures from the CIA are shown, calculated on an exchange rate basis, i.e., not in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms. Budget surplus or deficit records the difference between national government revenues and expenditures, expressed as a percent of GDP. A positive (+) number indicates that revenues exceeded expenditures (a budget surplus), while a negative (-) number indicates the reverse (a budget deficit). Sorting is alphabetical by ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code. == Purchasing Power Parity ==

The following is a list of countries by their partial forecasted estimated government budgets. The GDP dollar (INT$) data given on this page are derived from purchasing power parity (PPP) calculations. Comparisons using PPP are arguably more useful than nominal when assessing a nation's domestic market because PPP takes into account the relative cost of local goods, services and inflation rates of the country, rather than using international market exchange rates which may distort the real differences in per capita income. PPP is often used to gauge global poverty thresholds and is used by the United Nations in constructing the human development index. It is however limited when measuring financial flows between countries. These surveys such as the International Comparison Program include both tradable and non-tradable goods in an attempt to estimate a representative basket of all goods. Similar to Germany, Russia has a federative structure and a three layer budget system, here the total government spending is shown. Data are in millions of international dollars. Only sovereign states with over 500 billion in budget are included. ==See also==
