THE Department of Budget and Management wants to limit the national government’s unprogrammed funds to 5 percent of its total annual budget to ensure “sustainability” in the state’s expenditure.
“This year [the unprogrammed funds] is at 7 percent to 9 percent [of total budget]. It is slightly higher …So, hopefully even if we have a tight fiscal space, we are hoping to adhere to a 5 percent only unprogrammed appropriations,” she said in a kapihan forum on Wednesday. “You can [only] trigger the release of the unprogrammed funds if there are additional revenues. What if there is none? So, it will be a waste,” she said.
DBM data showed the share of the national government’s unprogrammed funds to its total budget have ranged between 2 percent and 8.4 percent from 2010 to 2022.
