How the structure of spending changed

Each budget section's share of federal spending, year by year. To 2021: execution (Minfin data); after that, plans: laws and bills, each bar naming its document.

All sections in one chart

Each bar is all federal spending in a year, split into large groups. Solid bars are outturn; pale bars are budget laws (plans).

Shares are of the sum of all sections. Each year comes from one document that gives every section: outturn to 2021, then the newest law. No document breaks 2022 down by section. The 2027–2029 bill is not broken down by every section yet, so 2027–2028 come from law 426-FZ.
