Italian term or phrase: conti pubblici

Hi folks
How do we say "conti pubblici" in English? It must be a fairly standard sort of expression, but I can't find it...
"può dirsi confortante l’andamento dei conti pubblici che, pur persistendo un debito pubblico considerevole, non costituiscono più un elemento di preoccupazione come fino a pochi anni fa"
TIA

Thanks Paola and Francesco,
This sounds unreasonably literal, but the source is surely impeccable and I daren't delve into the world of budgets in case I come up against some bilanci in the next, erm (sigh), 60 pages.
And on the seventh day...
