Data Sources: The data on central banks’ expenditure are from the IMF’ s “Government Finance Statistics Yearbook, 2000” and IMF data files. Each country’s accounts are reported using the system of  common definitions and classifications in the IMF’ s “Manual on Government Finance Statistics (1986)”. See these sources for complete and authoritative explanations of concepts, definitions and data sources.
