Examples include social security and medical care, and to show the spending example in 2017 Financial year, Medical care spent 27% of spending costs and Social security spent 24% while other departments and agencies spent a maximum of 15%.

Payment for mandatory expenditures should meet criteria specified by the law while discretionary payments are renewed annually as part of the budget and planning process.
