Federal spending 2021
What the Malaysian federal government actually spent in 2021, from the audited federal financial statements. Every figure links to the page it was read from. How these numbers are checked.
Operating is the printed operating total of RM 233.75 bn (JANM 2021, p. 187) less the RM 2.24 bn transfer to the Development Fund (JANM 2021, p. 111). That fund pays for development spending, so counting the transfer as well would count the same money twice. Development is the printed development total (JANM 2021, p. 233). The COVID-19 Fund (Kumpulan Wang COVID-19) was financed outside the operating account, so its spending adds to the other two (JANM 2021, p. 237). Each part is checked against data.gov.my's published figures; see the methodology.
