The state budget

The ministry's money

All ministries, by year

How much the ministry got from the state budget in each year and what share of that year's whole budget it is. These are the amounts of the budget voted for the year (the budget credits, from every source), not actual spending; "of GDP" relates them to the year's gross domestic product, so that years are comparable. The name is the one the budget gives that year.

Ministerial history

30 periods · 23 people · 17 sat in Parliament while in office

The periods come from the President's decrees (appointment, dismissal, resignation, acting posts), and the title is the decree's: the same ministry has gone by different names over the years. Where today's ministry was several ministries (industry, commerce, tourism), their ministers appear side by side. A government whose naming decree is not in the catalog is not here.
