| | Public Expenditure |
 | | More than 50% of the postwar increase in government expenditures is accounted for by expenditures on health, education and welfare. | | | The distinction between transfer expenditures, which shift private income from one person to another, and exhaustive expenditures, which use goods and services for government activities proper, is particularly important. | | | (The remainder is interest on the PUBLIC DEBT.) By 1995, transfer expenditures including interest accounted for over 57% of all government spending. |

| | PUBLIC EXPENDITURE AND CORRUPTION |
| | By the expression, public expenditure, I mean the expenditure incurred by the government and its organisations. | | | The second method to check public expenditure and corruption would be to ensure that the audit functions of the government are energized. | | | Public expenditure is supposed to be audited and the CandAG is the watch-dog of the public expenditure. |

| | Government Spending - Notes |
| | Public expenditure is spending by central government, local government, and nationalised industries. | | | Public goods are therefore supplied by central and local government. | | | A public good is an item which cannot be withheld from one consumer without withholding the good from all customers. |

| | Expenditure on all goods and services purchased by governments not used for further production by government (the government is taken to be the consumer of its own output for all services not offered for sale for profit and which therefore do not have a market price). | | | Expenditure on all capital goods purchased by government trading enterprises and government financial enterprises. | | | Since gross operating surplus is the excess of output over the cost of producing that output not including the consumption of fixed capital, that leaves general government's consumption of fixed capital as its GOS. |

| | CHARACTERIZATION AND EVOLUTION OF PUBLIC SOCIAL EXPENDITURE |
| | For this reason expenditure by each level of government corresponds to the values included for consolidated spending and is not equal to the total expenditure under the savings-investment scheme for each level considered individually. | | | There follow the series for total consolidated public expenditure, which include the expenditure of the various levels of government (national, provincial and municipal) and off-budget disbursements. | | | Lastly, Table 1.14 shows public expenditure by province and by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires in millions of 1997 pesos, and its relation to the population in each of these divisions for the period 1993-1997. |

| | TME, and expenditure on services, includes both spending by the health authorities on the purchase of health services from trusts (part of central government current expenditure) and the capital spending and interest and dividend payments of the trusts (part of public corporations expenditure). | | | This covers most expenditure by the public sector that is included in TME – central government's own current and capital expenditure, local authorities current and capital expenditure, public corporations capital expenditure. | | | Public sector current expenditure plus public sector net investment plus public sector depreciation is equal to TME – which is total public sector spending in national accounts. |

| | The reasons for the decentralization of capital investment decisions are the same as those behind the decentralization of recurrent expenditures: the increase in efficiency associated with being closer to the needs and preferences of taxpayers and government's becoming more accountable and responsive to them. | | | In short, the desirable principle is that the assignment of capital expenditure responsibilities among the different levels of government should be the same as for recurrent expenditures. | | | The way to do this most flexibly is to impose a ceiling on the expenditure on debt servicing (payment of interest and repayment of principal) as percent of the annual subnational total expenditures. |

| | Report 14 - 6. Tuition funding and public expenditure |
| | From the point of view of public expenditure, Government would need to cover at most one "unit of payment" in the student loan arrangements in parallel with each public fee it pays. | | | To a first approximation, student loan expenditure and public fee expenditure are likely to increase and decrease largely in step; and under most funding models, the public fee expenditure will be the greater. | | | Given the relatively open-ended nature of any publicly funded fees, we need to consider ways in which total public expenditure could be controlled; this will depend on the nature of the fees regime. |

| | Public Policy & Expenditure - Theme Outline |
| | Co-ordination of expenditures between ministries, and between central and local government, is becoming increasingly important for achieving rural poverty reduction. | | | In many developing countries, government policy on agriculture is unclear and public spending in the sector is stagnant or declining. | | | However, in many developing countries, assessing the composition, relevance, efficiency and impact of developing country spending to agriculture (and to other sectors) is made difficult by weak public expenditure management and accountability systems. |

| | This government expenditure results in a lower price for consumers and a higher price for suppliers in the subsidized markets. | | | For example, if the government subsidizes loans to firms, their costs of production will decrease, thus increasing supply of the good produced by the firm. | | | To subsidize a market price, government uses some of the revenue it collects from taxpayers to pay part of the price of supplying a good in a private market. |
