The chart illustrates the amount of budget spent in a percentage of GDP by the government on three different sectors between 2000 and 2020, with the projection until 2025.
Overall, national coffer allocation of health increases over the period, while the opposite is true for those of education and infrastructure. Additionally, the budget amount distributed for roads and railways changes the most throughout the period, and health is likely to be the most invested aspect by 2025.
Opposite patterns were seen in the national spending amount for education and health. Specifically, in 2000, the former received 4% from the government, 1% lower than the latter. Until 2025, the amount of public spending on health will incline significantly to about 7.5%, while that of education is projected to decline gradually to just below 4%, after being overtaken by the figure for health in mid-2000-2005 at just under 5%.
As for roads and railways, during the first five years, national expenses for this sector grew slightly to roughly 4.5%, followed by some wild fluctuations in the following fifteen years, with the lowest point at 3% in 2010. Finally, after recovering to the initial level in 2020, the national budget amount distributed to this category is anticipated to fall marginally to approximately 3.5% in 2025.
