Seven ministries and Parliament

The draft budget for 2027 plans to spend Cg 662.2M on running the country. The seven ministries account for Cg 633.2M of it, 95.6%. Parliament, the High Councils of State and a few special entities share the rest.

Each ministry has its own page: what it spends its money on, what it plans to do, its programmes, its staff and the risks it names itself.
