==The effect of financial support==
(Guidance based on Government Finance Statistics Manual (GFSM 2001))<br>
The following is the recommended treatment of the impact on the government balance of the main
financial support operations:<br>
Capital grants: Increase the deficit by the amount of the grant.<br>
Equity purchases: Have no impact on the fiscal balance, if purchase is at market value, but increase
government gross debt. Raise the deficit by any marked/undisputable excess of what the government
pays over the value of the equity.<br>
Asset purchases/swaps: Same as equity purchases.<br>
Loans: Have no immediate impact on the fiscal balance if there is no inherent subsidy, but increase
government debt. Reduce the balance by any amount that the government cannot expect to be repaid.<br>
Guarantees: Have no immediate impact on the fiscal balance or debt unless there is a significant
probability the guarantee will be called (in practice when a reserve has been created). In other cases, the
fiscal balance would weaken and debt increase if and when the guarantee is called.<br>
Associated fees, interest, and dividends: Affect the deficit in the same way as other government income
or expense.<br>
Central bank operations: Are reflected in its own balance sheet and income statement, rather than those
of the government. However, losses on these operations will affect the budget over time, as they affect
profit transfers or necessitate recapitalization. For transparency and to facilitate policy decision making,
these operations should be disclosed, possibly as complementary information in the budget.
