The guiding principle for forming this sector was to group activities that are typically exclusive to the public sector and that it carries out in support of all other sectors. These activities are characterized by being non-profit and not generating income. This sector is financed through taxes, fees, charges, and recoveries that are administered and distributed among the economic units through allocated budgets.
