Notes
The projected government budget is officially approved every year by royal decree and is published in the Official Gazette. The actual spending of the government is confirmed towards the end of the following year in a final statement issued by the Ministry of Finance in a ministerial decision that is also published in the Official Gazette.
The dataset covers both the total projected and actual expenditure without a breakdown for operational expenditure and capital expenditure.
The dataset includes two projected budgets, because the number for the projected budget in the final statement issued by the Ministry of Finance can be different from the projected budget issued by royal decree at the start of the year. It is not clear why this discrepancy exists, but we assume that the projected budget is revised in certain circumstances during the year.
