Important caveats
These are ministry totals for operating plus development spending, not whole-sector totals. The Ministry of Finance includes Treasury general services and transfer-related items, not merely office administration.
The Digital and Energy Transition ministries first have separate budget codes in 2024. Communications and Natural Resources had different scopes in 2023, so growth across these breaks is not automatically calculated.
Allocation changes alone do not prove government policy effects or performance. Administration-by-administration comparisons need a longer series, portfolio reconciliation and inflation adjustment. This table covers only 2023–2026.
