The graph illustrates the past and projected government spending as a percentage of GDP between 2000 and 2025 in three sectors: education, health and roads and railways.
Overall, spending on health is expected to increase steadily and become the highest by 2025, while expenditure on education is projected to decline slightly. Spending on roads and railways fluctuates but shows a decreasing trend overall.
In 2000, the government allocated about 5% of GDP to education, which was the highest among the three sectors. However, this figure gradually declined to below 4% by 2025. Health spending started lower, at around 4%, but increased consistently, reaching nearly 7.5% by the end of the period.
Spending on roads and railways was about 4% in 2000, but it experienced a sharp fall to below 3% by 2010. Although there was a minor recovery afterwards, the overall trend remains downward, with spending expected to fall to around 3% by 2025. This makes it the lowest among the three sectors.
