  • Section 2 describes the data used and the adjustments made in each case, and discusses certain aspects of the mechanics of the Regional Financing System (SFA) that help to understand the sometimes peculiar trend in regional revenues and expenditure.
  • Sections 3 and 4 analyze the trend in these two variables, the sector’s budget balance and its stock of debt, working with aggregate data and paying closer attention to recent years.
  • Section 5 works with disaggregated data at the regional level, revealing the immense diversity of experiences that exist between the various regions.
