Description topics
- Current account
- The European System of Accounts 1995 describes the economy as a series of
coherent economic partial processes. These partial processes include:
production, generating of income, distribution of income, income
expenditures, reallocation by capital transfers, generating of capital and
financing. Each partial process is described by a separate account.
The current account includes transactions related to production,
generating of income, distribution of income, income expenditure.- Expenditures
- Social transfers
- All payment without direct service in return (excluding capital transfers)
and not intended to finance long-term expenditures of the recipient, e.g.
premiums, benefits (in cash or in kind), gifts, fines, contributions to
the European Union and transfers to other government institutions.
Excluded are taxes paid on production and imports.- Social insurances
- The main task of social insurance institutions is to supply benefits in
connection with legal insurance regulations, e.g. covering incapacity (WIA
and WAO), unemployment (WW), exceptional medical expenses (AWBZ) and the
basic part health insurance (ZVW). Social insurance institutions also
include institutions that supervise executive institutions, e.g. the
Supervisory Board for Social Insurance (UWV), the Medical Insurance Board
(CVZ) and the Social Insurance Bank (SVB). The government is responsible
for the settlement or approval of the social insurance contributions and
benefits.
