The pie chart above provides a breakdown on the United Arab Emirates annual spending per sector by displaying how much percentage of the annual budget the sector consumes. These sort of charts are crucial in evaluating a country’s priorities and gaining a more cohesive understanding on their economic and sustainability goals.
In this pie chart we can deduce that social security is by far the sector where the UAE government allocates the largest portion of fiscal investment with a 100 billion AED annually, suggesting that social security is a prominent concern in the UAE. Conversely Transport is the sector with the least allocated capital investment annually providing many indicators on the UAE’s economic standpoint. This can be approached from two perspectives, one assumption which can be made is that the UAE already has a highly developed transportation infrastructure therefore investment on infrastructure is not necessary, or we can assume that public transportation is simply not demanded due to reasons such as higher purchasing power therefore citizens prefer private modes of transportation.
Overall through this pie chart we can analyse the UAE’s economic, sustainable and developmental goals by understanding why each sector varies in the magnitude annual investment.
