Output of Central bank
SNA 6.155: “….The collective consumption represented by monetary policy services is recorded as expenditure by general government but government does not incur the costs incurred by the central bank. Therefore a current transfer of the value of the non-market output should be recorded as payable by the central bank and receivable by the general government to cover the purchase of the non-market output of the central bank by government.”
