The Ministry of Finance's summary of 2025 (dated March 2026, released 7 April 2026) gives preliminary actual revenue of US$3,493 million against spending of US$3,447 million, a surplus of US$46 million, and gives salaries, wages and compensation as 41 per cent of 2025 spending, printing no amount for them
Destination
Chapter 7 (v46 lines 125, 195, 199, 201: the 41 per cent share only); Chapter 11 (unit CL-A); Chapter 5 line 127 (the ministry's primary for figures SRC-137 reports) || Closing pass (D-249 to D-251), 29 September 2026, unit CL06: Also Chapter 11 v37 line 105 (the 2025 revenue, spending and surplus as printed, and the 41 per cent share, no amount) and line 113 (the 25 per cent transfer-expenditure share, SRC-705 page 7, undefined); Chapter 12 v35 line 47 (the US$46 million surplus, 0.15 per cent of an estimated GDP of US$30.6 billion, beside the World Bank's plus 1.4 per cent, SRC-149, not reconciled). Unit CL-A, 29 September 2026. || 18 October 2026 (REVIEW_08_11_12 R12-6): Chapter 12 v39 l.47 also sets the 0.15 beside the World Bank's October 2026 plus 0.2 (SRC-793, FISCAL-005), a dated reading after the closing date; the October 0.2 equals the 0.15 at one decimal, my comparison, and the Bank does not say its figures are the ministry's. || 19 October 2026 (closing pass 2, lift sweep): the October reading (SRC-793, read 16 October 2026) falls before the closing date of 18 October 2026 (D-315) and is a dated reading, not a post-closing one; Chapter 12 v40 prints it without the label.
