Expense (current LCU)

This financial metric captures the total cash outflows associated with the government's operational activities aimed at delivering goods and services to the public. It encompasses a wide array of expenditures, including employee remuneration (wages and salaries), interest payments on debt, and subsidies that support various sectors. Additionally, it accounts for grants and social benefits that provide crucial support to vulnerable populations, along with other operational costs such as rent for facilities and dividends from public enterprises. By evaluating these expenses, stakeholders gain insight into the government's fiscal priorities and the sustainability of its economic policies, reflecting its commitment to social welfare and service delivery.
