National Budget Report 2002-2008

The National Budget (PGE) is the tool used to compile the State Administration's (AGE) plans for expenditure of economic resources each year. The National Budget includes national funding for the entire public sector which is made up of State subsectors, Autonomous Organisms and Social Security. This analysis that we have published aims to strengthen public efforts to view expenditure on R&D&I as a key element in increasing competitiveness and the creation of well-being. The analysis thus focuses on the distribution and evolution of funds allocated by the State Administration to financing these activities. These can be found under Expenditure Programme 46: Research, Development and Innovation within Area of Expenditure 4: National Budget Economic Measures 2008.
