Notes: Public expenditure comprises government expenditure (i.e. all expenditure charged to the General Revenue
Account and financed by the 
  Government's statutory funds excluding Capital Investment Fund), and expenditure by the Trading Funds and
the Housing Authority.  But not
included is expenditure by those organisations, including statutory organisations, in which the Government has
only an equity position, such 
as the Airport Authority, the MTR Corporation Ltd and the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation. Similarly,
advances and equity investments 
from the Capital Investment Fund are excluded as they do not reflect the actual consumption of
resources by the Government.
+Revised estimate.
