The pie chart illustrates the national expenditure of the United Arab Emirates in 2000. Generally speaking, the UAE government spent over 300 billion United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) on different sectors this year and the highest proportion of this expenditure went on ensuring the social security of citizens.
To maintain the social soundness of the UAE, the UAE’s authority spent nearly 100 billion United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) on the social security of the residents of UAE which was the highest, while 53 billion was used by the health and personal social services sector, which was even higher than the 38 billion AED allocation for the education and defence sections. The transportation system received 9 billion AED, which was the lowest allocation of the year 2000.
The industrial, agricultural, and employment parts received 13 billion AED which was 4 billion less than the national budget for the law and order departments. Moreover, the government contributed 23 billion in debt interest and 15 billion for the housing, heritage, and environment sectors. All other expenditures summed up at 23 billion and it is obvious that the government paid overhead to ensure social security compared to other aspects of the country.
