The proxy for a general government budget deflator for deflating revenues and total
expenditures is a weighted basket of:
Weight, avg 2000–15 (GFS) Level in 2016, avg. (2000=100)
# Consumer prices (CPI) 0.37 (social benefits) 527
# Public consumption deflator (PCD),
includes public sector wages 0.43 (wages, goods & services) 1171
# Industrial producer prices of goods
supplied to domestic buyers (IPPI)
and import prices (IP); weight of
imports is assumed at 20 % 0.13 (subsidies) 536 (IPPI 591, IP 319)
# Investment deflator (ID) 0.07 (consumption of fixed capital) 490
General budget deflator (GBD) 786
CPI, IPPI-IP and ID are general (not government-budget-specific).
Deflators for the functional government expenditure categories, the sector deflators, are
weighted baskets of
# average sector wage (SW), as sector PCDs, which include SWs and purchasing prices of
goods & services, are not available; and
# the general IPPI-IP, as data on sector consumption of fixed capital (weight for ID in GBD)
and sector subsidies (weight for IPPI-IP in GBD) is not available; for the social policy sector
IPPI-IP is replaced by CPI.
The weight for SW is the sector’s wage sum (in the sector’s public consumption) per
government total expenditure on the sector, and the sector weight for IPPI-IP is the rest. The
weight for SW varies a lot across the sectors (from 0.03 to 0.66 as an average for 2008–14).
