Value

A tibble with the following columns:

codigo: Unique account code. Duplicate codes in the source are disambiguated by appending a numeric suffix.
categoria: Institutional sector (e.g. "Central Government", "Rest of the Public Sector", or "Non-Financial Public Sector").
cuenta: Account name.
level: Hierarchical level inferred from the account code.
year: Calendar year.
value: Fiscal balance or transaction expressed as a percentage of GDP.

Details

The source spreadsheet reports fiscal aggregates as percentages of GDP for the Central Government, the Rest of the Public Sector, and the Non-Financial Public Sector. The function cleans the original layout, propagates category labels and account codes, removes empty rows, derives the hierarchical level of each account from its code, and reshapes the data into a long format with one observation per account and year.

The source workbook is downloaded directly from the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic each time the function is called.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
fiscal <- get_fiscal_as_gdp()

dplyr::filter(fiscal, codigo == "1")
} # }
