Audit signals
  • 19 vague line items

    Items labeled "miscellaneous", "other", "general administration" or "contingency" sum to 0% of the FY2026 budget. Classic padding locations — worth an itemized breakdown.

  • Outsized single line item

    "Military Expenditure" (Ministry of Defence) alone is 16.9% of the budget.

Extraction notes

City-state: there is no municipal budget separate from the national book. FY2026 runs 1 April 2026 – 31 March 2027. Published total is MOF Total Expenditure of $137,323,443,300, which rounds to the Overview Table 1.1 headline of $137.32 billion. Head Y (Public Debt) and Head Z (Financial Transfers) plus Other Consolidated Fund / Other Development Fund outlays are appropriated separately and are not Total Expenditure. MINDEF object class 2900 (Military Expenditure) holds the SAF; the Manpower line on that Head is civilian ministry staff only.
