Budget 2026 of the Republic of Dänsétòuésän

Fiscal Year 2026: Stability, Capacity, and Long-Term Readiness

The Government of the Republic of Dänsétòuésän hereby presents Budget 2026, setting out national expenditure priorities for the fiscal year in accordance with projected economic growth and long-term state capacity planning.

For FY2026, national GDP is projected at Đ106.215 trillion, representing sustained economic expansion from FY2025. Total government expenditure is set at Đ6.0325 trillion, reflecting a calibrated increase to support public services, national security, infrastructure development, and institutional resilience.

Budget 2026 is guided by three core principles:

• Continuity of essential state functions

• Targeted expansion in growth-critical sectors

• Fiscal discipline through controlled reallocations

Overall Fiscal Position:

Total Government Expenditure (FY2026): Đ6.0325 trillion

Increase from FY2025: 11.26%

Operating Expenditure (OPEX): Đ3.3179 trillion

Development Expenditure (DEVEX): Đ1.8098 trillion

The expenditure framework reflects a deliberate shift toward development investment while maintaining operational readiness across ministries and agencies.

Key Budgetary Priorities:

Education and Human Capital

The Ministry of Education receives Đ650 billion, a 30% increase, supporting long-term workforce readiness, institutional expansion, and curriculum modernisation.

Transport and Infrastructure

The Ministry of Transportation is allocated Đ750 billion, enabling continued national connectivity projects and resilience upgrades to existing systems.

Healthcare

The Ministry of Health receives Đ600 billion, ensuring system capacity, public health preparedness, and service continuity.

Defence and National Security

Defence and security-related allocations remain robust, with funding prioritised toward readiness, intelligence capability, and inter-agency coordination rather than unchecked expansion.

Technology and Digital Capacity

The Ministry of Technology and national digital agencies see targeted increases to strengthen cybersecurity, innovation infrastructure, and state digital resilience.

New and Expanded Institutions

Budget 2026 formally funds several new or expanded institutions, including:

1. National Emergency Services Agency

2. National Disaster Management and Resilience Agency

3. Ministry of Social and Family Development

4. Ministry of Energy and Power Development

5. Ministry of Space and Extraterrestrial Affairs

These allocations reflect forward-looking capacity-building rather than short-term political signalling.

Fiscal Responsibility and Oversight

Several ministries and agencies have seen budget reductions or flat funding where FY2025 utilisation or strategic priorities no longer justify expansion. This reflects a results-based approach to public spending rather than uniform growth.

All expenditures remain subject to statutory audit and parliamentary oversight.

Implementation

Budget 2026 takes effect from 1 February 2026 following provisional authorisation, with full programme-level implementation schedules to be published subsequently.

The Government remains committed to transparency, fiscal responsibility, and long-term national resilience.

The full numbers of Budget 2026 will be made known to the public shortly.
