None of the Ministry of Finance's three documents held separates social protection: the citizen budget 2026 places it inside 41 per cent with health and education (page 27) and inside 13 per cent for subsidies and social security together (page 21); the first-half report of 2026 carries subsidies and social security as one line, US$315 million spent in the half year against US$2,468 million budgeted; the summary of 2025 carries an undefined 25 per cent for transfer expenditure

Measure and scope
Shares of estimated 2026 expenditure, a six-month outturn and a 2025 share; scoped to the three ministry documents held; no share may be carried across the labels subsidies and social security and transfers; not a claim that no separate figure exists anywhere
Known conflict
The two documents give the combined line different weights: 13 per cent (citizen budget page 21) against 2,468 of 10,516, 23.5 per cent on my arithmetic (first-half report page 18) || Closing-pass review H-1, 29 September 2026: SRC-700 page 3, [quotation withheld, 7 words; follow the citation], opened 29 September 2026: [quotation withheld, 30 words; follow the citation]. On the report's own definitions the category that pages 17 and 18 label «الدعم والضمان الاجتماعي» most probably includes allocations for the salary increase and loan instalments and interest (an inference: the labels differ); so the difference from the Citizen Budget's 13 per cent is partly explained, and the US$3,578 million printed as the wage line's 2026 allocation may not include the budget for the salary increase.
