Revenue, excluding grants (% of GDP)

This metric represents the proportion of a nation's economic output that is generated through cash inflows from traditional revenue streams, including taxes, social contributions, and miscellaneous earnings such as fines, fees, and rents, as well as income derived from property or sales. By specifically excluding grants, this indicator provides a clearer picture of a government’s self-generated financial resources, illustrating its ability to fund services and initiatives without relying on external aid. Analyzing this figure can shed light on the sustainability of a country’s fiscal policies, the effectiveness of its tax system, and the overall economic health, ultimately highlighting the government’s capacity to invest in public goods and social programs based on its own revenue generation.
