This dataset includes subnational government investment expressed in several units of measures: USD PPP, USD PPP per capita, percentage of GDP, and percentage of total public investment. The Subnational Government Structure and Finance Dashboard compiles several datasets with comparable data on institutional organisation and public finance at subnational government level. It provides data for the time period 2000 - 2024 (based on data availability), for all 38 OECD member countries, and the average for the European Union. It includes data for the subnational government sector, for both state and local government levels for some federal countries.
