In 2025, the Ministry of Finance alone spent $93.1 million in the administration and general services sector. The other 34 government institutions in the same sector spent $130.3 million combined. One ministry’s spending equals 71.5% of all 34 others together.
Key figures
- Ministry of Finance: $93.1 million
- 34 other government institutions combined: $130.3 million
- The 34 institutions together spent only 1.4 times as much as the Ministry of Finance
- Ministry of Finance share of the sector total ($223.4 million): about 42%
Why it matters
The figures cover the administration and general services sector only. When a single ministry accounts for such a large share of administrative spending, it raises questions about how resources are divided across government, and how much reaches the other 34 institutions that deliver public services.
