Budget explorer

Every line of the projected national budget for 2028. Expand a ministry down to the individual account, or search for one directly. Source: Ministry of Finance approved-budget export. Each row also shows the change versus 2027 (projected): green where it fell, red where it rose. Comparing an approved budget to a prior year's revised or actual figure isn't quite like-for-like, but it's the closest year available.

Each year is labelled with what its figures are. Approved budget is what parliament passed for the year. Revised is a re-estimate made during the year. Actual is what was finally recorded once the year closed. Projected is a forward estimate for a year not yet budgeted. Only "actual" describes money that has already moved; what has actually been collected and spent month by month is on Government finances.

MVR 56,956,112,771 total spending

Switch to By function to see what each area was actually given. The Ministry of Finance publishes what was actually spent by function, but not by ministry, so there is nothing to set against these rows.
