As the truth of our economic predicament sets in, readers may find it useful to look back at previous budgets since 2001.

One will easily note that in a nine-year period up to 2010, national budgets increased by over 300%, and while this happened, oil and gas production declined, there were drastic declines in drilling, negligible diversification, foreign investment plunged, and the State was plagued by over-budget mega projects.

In the years 2011 to 2015, national budgets increased by approximately 26% in spite of non-boom oil and gas prices, with increases in oil and gas exploration and new investments, as well as completed and delivered large-scale projects.


Budget’s 2001 to 2010

Budget 2001 (Brian Kuei Tung) - $13.448B

Budget 2002 (Gerald Yetming) - $14.428B

Budget 2003 (Patrick Manning) - $20B

Budget 2004 (Patrick Manning) - $22.331B

Budget 2005 (Patrick Manning) - $27,917B

Budget 2006 (Patrick Manning) - $34,119B

Budget 2007 (Patrick Manning) - $38,054B

Budget 2008 (Karen Nunez-Tesheira) - $42.260B

Budget 2009 (Karen Nunez-Tesheira) – $44,206BB

Budget 2010 (Karen Nunez-Tesheira) - $44,366B
