In plain words
3.4% of GDP
What it is. Non-tax revenue of general government (grants, rents and royalties, interest and dividends, sales of goods and services, fines and other receipts) as a share of GDP. Includes grants. Rents and royalties, which include resource revenue, can be a large part of it.
Neither way is good in itself. Whether a change is welcome depends on why it happened, so read it against its own history and other countries.
Why it matters. A percentage puts countries of different sizes on the same footing, so it can be compared across borders and over time.
