Note 1 :

As the 2001-02 draft estimate has included assumptions on price changes for various expenditure components (e.g. salaries, operating expenses, plant and equipment, etc.), the % increase is calculated after adjustment to bring the expenditure figures for 2000-01 and 2001-02 to the same price level.

Note 2 :

It includes expenditure of $1,100 million in 2000-01 and $4,100 million in 2001-02 which is one-off in nature under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme and the Voluntary Departure Scheme introduced in 2000-01.


Analysis of Recurrent Public Expenditure by Policy Area Group 2001-02

 
Note :

The percentage share of expenditure for Support has increased due to the inclusion of the expenditure which is one-off in nature under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme and the Voluntary Departure Scheme. The percentage share for other policy area groups has therefore been correspondingly reduced.


Analysis of Recurrent Government Expenditure by Policy Area Group 2001-02

 
Notes: 1.

This chart provides an analysis of government spending only, i.e. it excludes expenditure of the Trading Funds, the Lotteries Fund and the Housing Authority.

            2.

The percentage share of expenditure for Support has increased due to the inclusion of the expenditure which is one-off in nature under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme and the Voluntary Departure Scheme. The percentage share for other policy area groups has therefore been correspondingly reduced.
