Key Points: Public Expenditure

  • Public expenditure is government spending by central, state and local bodies for public welfare and development.
  • It includes spending on defence, administration, health, education, roads and social welfare schemes.
  • Revenue expenditure covers day‑to‑day running costs like salaries, pensions and routine services.
  • Capital expenditure creates assets and development, e.g. infrastructure projects and loans.
  • Developmental expenditure is productive and raises employment, output and welfare (health, education, industry, R&D).
  • Non‑developmental expenditure is mainly compulsory and less productive, such as defence and general administration.
  • Public expenditure is rising due to more government welfare functions, population growth, urbanisation and higher defence and administration costs.
