Provincial budgets; benefits and charges by field of responsibility

This table provides figures on budgeted burdens and benefits per task field (policy area) by province in millions of euros and in euros per inhabitant. The figures presented are based on data that correspond to the definitions and classifications used by the provinces themselves in their administration. These data are provided to the CBS through the Third Party Information Survey (Iv3). The requirements for this survey are laid down in the Decree on Budget and Responsibility of Provinces and Municipalities (GDP). Data available from: 2017 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are provisional at first publication. The figures become definitive when figures for the following year are added to the series. Changes as of 23 March 2022: The budget figures for 2022 have been added. The figures for the year 2021 will become definitive. Due to changes in source data, Third Party Information (Iv3), as of the 2017 budget, data are not entirely comparable to data from previous years. When will there be new figures? The new figures from the provincial budgets are published in the first quarter of the reporting year. The figures may be adjusted on the basis of the availability of new or updated source material. In general, the adjustments are small in size. The adjustments are made when a new year figure is added to the series.
