The line graph illustrates the percentage of a country’s GDP spent by the government on three sectors – health, education, and roads & railways – over a 25-year period from 2000 to 2025.
Overall, health consistently accounted for the highest share of GDP throughout the period, while roads and railways generally received the least. Education spending saw a significant rise in the early years before declining in the final decade.
In 2000, spending on health stood slightly above 4%, and this figure gradually increased with minor fluctuations to reach around 6% by 2025. Education expenditure started at 5% and climbed steadily to a peak of 7% in 2010. However, after this peak, it declined sharply to approximately 4% by the end of the period.
Government spending on roads and railways began at around 4% in 2000 but dropped to about 3% by 2005. Following this, there was a steady increase to nearly 5% in 2015, after which the percentage declined slightly and stabilized around 4% by 2025.
In summary, while health spending showed a consistent upward trend, education and transport expenditures experienced more noticeable fluctuations, with education ultimately ending lower than it began.
