On average total expenditures has been 6.3 per cent lower than the forecast due to the overoptimistic expectations on revenues, which consistently resulted lower. This was followed by necessary cuts in planed expenditures during the budged execution. During this period, the government expenditures stood in average at 351 billion leks. <\/p>\n<p>  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/static\/modules\/gviz\/1.0\/chart.js\">{\"dataSourceUrl\":\"\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/tq?key=0Agylwmr5tEbVdHNsSGhENjFYd3RFcFdiYzFwR0I4a1E&transpose=0&headers=1&range=A79%3AB89&gid=2&pub=1\",\"options\":{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#000\",\"fontSize\":16},\"vAxes\":[{\"title\":null,\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"logScale\":false,\"maxValue\":null},{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"logScale\":false,\"maxValue\":null}],\"title\":\"Average deviation from plan to final expenditures 2007-2011 (in billion ALL)\",\"booleanRole\":\"certainty\",\"height\":371,\"animation\":{\"duration\":500},\"legend\":\"right\",\"width\":630,\"hAxis\":{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#222\",\"italic\":true,\"fontSize\":12},\"title\":\"Sector\/Function\",\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindowMode\":null,\"viewWindow\":null,\"maxValue\":null},\"isStacked\":true,\"tooltip\":{}},\"state\":{},\"view\":{},\"isDefaultVisualization\":false,\"chartType\":\"ColumnChart\",\"chartName\":\"Chart 5\"}<br \/>\n  <\/script><br><sup>Source: Ministry of Finance<br>Processed and comments: ODA<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Expenditure cuts during difficult times had not affected all the functions fairly. During the five years analyzed, Military Defense had been the most hit sector by cuts as percentage difference while Recreation, culture and religion had been the most advantaged functions. In the latest, final expenditures had been consistently higher than the planned expenditures. But Recreation, Culture and Religion makes only a small part in general expenditures and an analysis on percentage difference does not give a fair understanding. Defense and Healthcare are the functions were more money was saved followed by Public Order and Safety and Education. Economic affairs (where investment on road building take the lion share) and Social Protection were the functions that consistently spent more that what was planned. <\/p>\n<p>In cumulative terms, has is shown on the graph, Military Defense and Health received each 15 BN lek less that the law on budged allocated while Economic Affairs received 49 BN leks more, followed by Housing and community amenities which receiver 23 BN leks more. <\/p>\n<p>These figures show also where the government priorities stood during these years.
