The net worth of the general government sector increased over the period 1998-99 to 2000-01. The major contributors to the growth were the increase in the general government sector's equity in the public non-financial corporations sector, and the decrease in net debt. Net debt is calculated as the sum of liabilities in the form deposits held, advances received and borrowing, less assets in the form of cash and deposits, advances paid, and investments loans and placements.
