How Much Was Requested vs. How Much Was Approved
Every August, ministries submit their desired spending for the next fiscal year to the Ministry of Finance as a “budget request.” After assessment and negotiation, this becomes the “approved amount.” This page uses the Administrative Project Review (FY2021–FY2026) to list the difference between requested and approved amounts by ministry and project, identifying projects cut during assessment and those that exceeded their requests (supplementary budgets or political additions).
