The charts below show local government expenditure in 2010 and 2015

The charts below show local government expenditure in 2010 and 2015 pBGm

The two pie charts compare the spending of local government on various purposes over a five - year period. Overall, in both years, the largest area of government spending was education, while the amount of money spent on others was the least proportion of government expenditure. In 2010, the government spent 24% of the budget on education, followed by health care and pensions at 21% and 19% respectively. 17% of money spent on the defence sector, which doubled welfare and tripled interest in borrowing. By contrast, the figure for transport, culture and leisure, and other was in between. In 2015, the vast majority of money was used for education. However, it was decreased by 3% in comparison with the previous year. The proportion used for pensions and other parts remained the same at 19% and 1% each. Government budget spent on defence and healthcare dropped to 14% and 20% in sequence. The government also spent a trivial amount on transport, culture and leisure and others. In terms of interest on borrowing and welfare, the budget climbed by 5%.
