Abstract: For several years, already, the institutional setting of the German general government is rapidly changing. Central government, the Länder, the municipalities and the social security funds are outsourcing lots of their activities into various forms of public or private corporations or in other forms of "statistical units". German statistics face conceptual and empirical problems in realising these changes of settings accurately and timely and to monitor the economic sector general government adequately. This article deals with these problems and the way of statistics to handle them. It tackles the role of statistical units in general, first, and then their role in the context of government finance statistics and of national accounts.
