EMISSION REDUCTION SCHEMES The Australian System of Government Finance Statistics: Concepts, Sources and Methods (ABS GFS Manual) (cat. no. 5514.0) has been updated to include the treatment of emission reduction schemes. RECs are Renewable Energy Certificates issued under the Commonwealth Renewable Energy Target (RET). Data for RECs are now included in relevant GFS aggregates, with data backcast in the time series. Separate data series for emission reduction schemes are not available. REVISED STANDARD FOR GOVERNMENT FINANCE STATISTICS The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Government Finance Statistics Manual 2001 (GFSM 2001) will be revised to reflect the 2008 SNA. The IMF review of the GFSM has commenced and is expected to be completed in 2014. The ABS GFS Manual will also be updated to reflect these new international standards in 2014. TERMINOLOGY Within GFS the consolidated total of the general government and the public non-financial corporations sectors is referred to as the 'non-financial public sector'. The consolidated total of the general government, the public non-financial corporations and the public financial corporations sectors is referred to as the 'total public sector'. In this publication, the term 'state' includes the two territories. Therefore 'state' refers to 'state and territory' and 'state and local' refers to 'state, territory and local'.
