    Since 2012 FAO collects government expenditure on agriculture (GEA) data through a questionnaire sent annually to more than 190 countries. This brief analyzes global and regional trends for the period 2001-2021. According to the latest data, between 2001 and 2021, total government expenditures showed an increasing trend, from USD 11 trillion in 2001 to an all-time high of USD 35 trillion in 2021, driven mostly by the COVID-19 pandemic response and the unprecedented scale of fiscal stimulus packages implemented by countries.

    Since 2012, FAO has collected government expenditure on agriculture (GEA) data through a questionnaire sent annually in May to more than 190 countries. Government expenditures reflect countries’ priorities in terms of programmes and sectors and can be used as a direct response to cushion the impacts of economic and social challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters or increasing inflation. This brief analyses the latest data, available for the period 2001–2022. In 2022, global government expenditures reached USD 36 trillion and represented 36.7 percent of the global gross domestic product (GDP). Between 2001 and 2022, total government expenditures showed an increasing trend in nominal terms, from the current USD 12 trillion in 2001 to 37 trillion in 2021, and declined to USD 36 trillion in 2022. Throughout the period, government expenditures represented between 35 and 42 percent of the global GDP.
