What these figures can and cannot tell us

Operating objects and development functions are two different classifications. Social spending is not equivalent to the full education and healthcare budgets, and neither chart identifies individual ministries.

Debt servicing, ministry allocations, and dedicated health or education totals require additional verified series.
