The pie chart illustrate the proportion of UAE government spending in 2000. The total budget was AED 315 billion.
Overall, it is evident that social security accounted for the greatest share of the total, whereas transport represented only a minimal proportion. The remaining categories occupied moderate percentages, with noticeable disparities between the dominant and less significant segments.
In greater detail, social security constituted AED 100 billion, making it by far the most substantial component. This figure was considerably higher than that of health and personal social services, which stood at AED 53 billion, whereas education represented a more modest share at AED 30 billion. Meanwhile, debt interest and other expenditure recorded for AED 23 billion respectively. Together, these five categories comprised AED 206 billion. Moreover, defence accounted for AED 22 billion, positioning it within the mid-range of the distribution.
By contrast, law and order represented a comparatively modest share at AED 17 billion, while housing heritage and environment and industry agriculture and employment contributed AED 15 billion and AED 13 billion respectively. Finally, transport comprised just AED 9 billion, thereby exerting only a negligible influence on the overall breakdown. The chart reveals a clearly uneven distribution, with one dominant segment overshadowing the remainder.
