These numbers do not establish government performance or causation. Portfolio scope, inflation, administration dates and non-ministry spending all matter.
Actual expenditure ranking
Select a ministry to view six years. Ranking includes only matched ministries, not all federal spending. A dash means no matched code, not zero.
Historical ministry codes kept separate
The MOF 2022 book contains historic ministry codes that cannot simply be merged with today's portfolio structure. They are excluded from the 24-code matched ranking.
B.15 · Kementerian Hal Ehwal EkonomiNot directly mapped to 2023+ Kementerian Ekonomi; a successor function concordance is required.
B.32 · Kementerian Wilayah PersekutuanA separate historical ministry; not attributed to current KPKT or any other ministry.
B.33 · Kementerian Alam Sekitar dan Air2020 portfolio structure differs from 2024 Energy Transition and Water Transformation.
How we calculate it
2019–2020 actuals come from MOF's 2022 expenditure book; 2021–2022 from the 2024 book; and 2023–2024 from the 2026 book. They represent ministry operating plus development expenditure in ringgit.
The adjustment uses DOSM's annual national overall CPI (index base 2010=100): 2024 RM = nominal RM × 2024 CPI ÷ origin-year CPI. Household CPI is not a government project or procurement deflator; this is a general-purchasing-power comparison.
Missing separate ministry codes are not treated as zero. Known portfolio changes, including Education/Higher Education, Communications, Natural Resources and Science, are flagged; non-comparable changes are suppressed. This does not measure administration effectiveness.
