Public budgets
France: public budget
What France's government raised and what it spent it on, from the figures its own budget laws or a statistics office publish. Solon places every figure on the same international classification, so it can be compared with any other place.
General government, 1997
Outturn: what came in and was spent
General government: central, state and local government and social security funds together, consolidated so that money passed between them is counted once, as Eurostat's government finance statistics (ESA 2010) count it.
Amounts in EUR: Solon holds no 1997 rate to convert them to USD.
