Operating Expenditure
□ Operating expenditure, which comprises operating recurrent expenditure and capital
expenditure, did not experience major compositional change over the last several
years.
➤ Over 90% of this expenditure goes to recurrent expenditure - includes allocation for wages
and salaries and administrative expenses, repairs and maintenance, interest on foreign and
domestic loans, current grants, social assistance benefits in cash and in-kind, employment-
related social benefits in cash and incentives.
☐ Capital expenditure (share is less than 10%) observed more ups and downs in the
recent past.
➤ Capital expenditure includes acquisition of assets and land such as allocation of buildings and
structures, machinery and equipment, weapons systems, goods for resale, and land.
During FY22 (up to December) capital
expenditure was 37.9% lower than the
same period of the previous year - lower
disbursement of funds owing to fiscal
pressure??
