Quarterly data for Government Finance Statistics (GFS), a system which presents fiscal statistics using the international standard GFS developed by the International Monetary Fund, are now available. This standard allows consistent aggregation and analysis across countries.
Quarterly GFS data are available on CANSIM, for overall government in Canada and for four sectors from 1991 to the third quarter of 2014. These sectors are the federal government, provincial/territorial governments, local governments as well as Canada and Quebec Pension Plans.
Note to readers
Currently, Government Finance Statistics (GFS) data are being derived by mapping Canada's System of National Accounts data to GFS concepts and conventions.
Additional information can also be found in the Latest Developments in the Canadian Economic Accounts (Catalogue number13-605-X), available from the Browse by key resource module of our website under Publications.
