Notes: Public expenditure comprises government expenditure (i.e. all expenditure charged to the General Revenue Account and financed by the Government's statutory funds excluding Capital Investment Fund), and expenditure by the Trading Funds, the Housing Authority, the Lotteries Fund and the previous Provisional Urban Council and Provisional Regional Council (up to 31 December 1999). Expenditure by institutions in the private or quasi-private sector is included to the extent of their subventions. But not included is expenditure by those organisations, including statutory organisations, in which the Government has only an equity position, such as the Airport Authority, the MTR Corp Ltd and the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation. Similarly, advances and equity investments from the Capital Investment Fund are excluded as they do not reflect the actual consumption of resources by the Government.
Where appropriate, historical figures have been adjusted to comply with the current classification of expenditure.
