The objective of this article is to examine relations between size of General Government Sector and effects of public spending. In order to measure the size of the sector author will apply financial parameters, which refers to disposal of public funds. From the other hand, results of sector’s activity will be researched through measurements based on indexes. The idea to base them on international rankings, which present complementary measures that link financial funds and indicatory approach to efficiency of sector’s entities, allows analyzing relationship between size of the sector and parameters designed to measure results of sector’s activity.
