Government expenditures by function (COFOG)
Governments are responsible for the funding or direct provision of a wide array of services and activities, such as healthcare, education and justice; guaranteeing public order and the safety of civilians; and representing the country internationally. Governments’ expenditures by function provides an overview of the use of public resources in key areas and sheds light on government priorities and preferences for delivery modes (i.e. fully public or a combination of public and private). Changes in the structure of public spending can be driven by policy choices, as well as by socio-economic trends such as demographic changes, business cycles or shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
