Every figure comes from official statistics: the national office's own COFOG submission (via Eurostat or the OECD) first, then the IMF, the World Bank and the UN. COFOG covers general government (central, state and local together). A dashed vertical mark on a line is a series break, where the source changes. Euro-area history is in euro-fixed terms.
