In public-sector statistics, central government refers to institutions exercising authority for the country as a whole. This category generally covers national ministries, executive bodies, and comparable publicly controlled entities with nationwide responsibilities. It does not include bodies governing provinces, regions, municipalities, or separately recorded social-protection schemes. The classification is used to present national-level public revenue, spending, financing, and related transactions.
