Why some modules are greyed out
  • coming soon: this release opens three deep analyses: public finances, assets and debt, taxation
  • removed for now: currency and IMF country series were not tied closely enough to the city; the balance sheet (assets vs debt) stays in Assets and debt
  • removed, named: sovereign wealth funds; no free official API (paid SWF Institute); revisit if a public source appears
  • removed, nommé: les séries routières BM (IS.ROD.*) sont archivées et IRF access is paid; revisit if a public source becomes available again
  • removed, named: duplicate de Telecoms Digital (same indicateurs WB broadband/mobile); merged rather than duplicated

Infrastructure assets and debt of Bern

2023 · 2024audited

Recorded public assets per capita of Bern: actifs non financiers et financiers face à la dette, by tier. Ce sont des valeurs comptables publiées (coût historique), pas un titre de propriété ni le coût de remplacement. A maintenance deficit (D2), if published, is a liability, never an asset, and never mixed in silently.

Balance-sheet line items, and which ones enter the total

Deux postes s'additionnent: le capital physique (P1) et les actifs financiers (P3). P2 et P4 sont des morceaux de ces deux-là: les additionner une seconde fois compterait le même bien deux fois. P5 est annoncé (ressources). D1 est la dette de bilan; D2 est le déficit d'infrastructure: une dette, pas un actif, annoncé mais pas encore chiffré. « À venir » ne vaut pas zéro. Each row porte son stock en amont (in sa section). La pile n'additionne que des montants par habitant: on descend stock → /hab, on ne remonte pas une somme CAD à travers des populations différentes. Le fédéral ÷ les Canadiens, Montréal ÷ les Montréalais.

This is not your title deed. The figures below are what public balance sheets record as assets and liabilities of the governments that serve a resident of Bern. The « per capita » is a denominator, pas un droit individuel.

Deux lectures. (1) Patrimoine: non-financial (land, buildings, networks) and financial (cash, receivables, equity holdings). (2) Who carries it: FEDERAL, intermédiaire, city, sécu. when published. La dette répond en face, with son concept named.

P2 (defence) and P4 (holdings) are subsets: never added a second time into asset totals. Total assets = P1 + P3. Social security (S1314) is a distinct tier when GFS publishes it.
