Have you ever felt overwhelmed by news related to government debt and deficit? Have you ever compared your government spending with that of other EU countries? To help bring some clarity to these highly sensitive and political aspects of European statistics, the eleventh episode of the Eurostat podcast series Stats in a Wrap focuses on government finance statistics. 

Host Jonathan Elliott and Eurostat’s team of statisticians/accountants (Vassil Georgiev from the excessive debt procedure unit and Leonor Zubimendi, Floris Jansen and Laura Wahrig from the government finance statistics unit) dive into the world of government finance and the work Eurostat does in this area.
