Government Development Expenditure by Sector, Quarterly, Singapore

Data refer to the Government's financial year, which begins on 1 April of the current year and ends on 31 March of the following year. Q1 refers to Apr-Jun, Q2 refers to Jul-Sep, Q3 refers to Oct-Dec and Q4 refers to Jan-Mar. Refinements have been made over time to the sectoral classification of ministries' expenditure to better reflect the nature of the programmes. In FY2007, expenditure by the then-Ministry of Communications, Information and the Arts under the Info-Communications and Media Development Programme was reclassified from the Social Development sector to the Economic Development sector. In FY2013, expenditure by the Ministry of Manpower under the Financial Security and Lifelong Employability programme (subsequently re-named as the Financial Security for Singaporeans programme) was reclassified from the Economic Development sector to the Social Development sector. Figures may not add up due to rounding.

本数据集采用政府财政年度（financial year）统计口径，即当年4月1日起至次年3月31日止。其中第一季度（Q1）指4月至6月，第二季度（Q2）指7月至9月，第三季度（Q3）指10月至12月，第四季度（Q4）指次年1月至3月。为更贴合各类项目的实际属性，各部委支出的部门分类（sectoral classification）历经多次优化调整。2007财年（FY2007），时任通讯、资讯及艺术部（Ministry of Communications, Information and the Arts）旗下资讯通信与媒体发展项目（Info-Communications and Media Development Programme）的支出，曾从社会发展部门（Social Development sector）划转至经济发展部门（Economic Development sector）。2013财年（FY2013），人力部（Ministry of Manpower）旗下财务保障与终身就业能力项目（Financial Security and Lifelong Employability programme，后更名为「新加坡人财务保障项目」（Financial Security for Singaporeans programme））的支出，从经济发展部门划转至社会发展部门。由于四舍五入误差，部分数据分项求和后可能与总计值不完全一致。
