The line graph depicts the expenditure of the government on different three sectors (education, health, and roads and railways) from 2000 to 2025.
Overall, the government has a tendency to spend more on health than the remaining needs. In addition, health spending rises considerably, while education expenditure witnesses a slight fall, and in terms of roads and railways, the proportion of those spent fluctuates significantly during the period shown.
Initially, in 2000, the government’s expenditure on education was the highest, at about 5%, while health, roads and railways spending accounted for the lower percentage, at roughly 4% each. After increasing sharply to around 5.5% in the following five years, spending on education continued experience a minimal rise until 2020. Between 2000 and 2020, there was a slight decline in the proportion of education spent, by about 1%, and the figure for roads and railways varied significantly between approximately 3% and 4.5%, but in 2020, it was similar to their percentage in the year 2000.
By 2025, it is forecasted that the expenditure of the government on health will climb and reach a peak of just over 7.5%. In contrast, education, roads and railways spending are likely to decrease minimally to roughly 4.8% and 4.5% respectively.
