Notes:
Consolidated data by General Administration and Autonomous Organisations.
From 2010, the data in the classification by programmes cannot be compared with that of previous years due to a change in standards. (Order EHA/3565/2008, of December 3, which passed the budget structure of local entities).

Methodological note

Definition of concepts

The part of Public administration made up of minor political bodies of a territorial nature.
Local council
Organ that governs and administrates a province.

Expression of the accounts for the economic plans of the public sector for a certain period of time (generally one year).

Depending on the different phases, the budget may be:

Methodological aspects

In terms of Local administration, the preventive budgets are presented for the four Catalan provinces, the budgets for county councils, by chapters and counties, and the aggregated budgets of all local councils by chapters and functions. Also included is county data for the rustic and urban property taxes.

Les dades de la classificació per programes a partir de 2010 no són comparables amb les d'anys anteriors per un canvi de normativa (Ordre EHA/3565/2008, de 3 de desembre, per la que s'aprova l'estructura dels pressupostos de les entitats locals).

Recently, Law 23/2010, of July 22, divides Catalonia into eight territorial planning areas with the incorporation of the Penedès region. This new territorial area includes the counties of Alt Penedès, l'Anoia, el Baix Penedès and el Garraf. In consequence, the territorial boundaries of the area of Metropolità, Comarques centrals and Camp de Tarragona are modified, and their data is therefore not directly comparable with previous years.
