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. |
