National government budget at a high level. This category is looking at budgets, or the planned government expenditure for the upcoming year, and not the actual expenditure. To satisfy this category, the following minimum criteria must be met:

• Planned budget divided by government department and sub-department
• Updated once a year.
• The budget should include descriptions regarding the different budget sections.

Comments

Government budgets are standardised across government departments allowing for easy comparisons. Historic budgets are also available in various forms back to 1993. 2013 onwards seem the most comprehensive. Planned expenditure data is available in PDF and XLS.
