(*) The concept of area of activity is used because it better indicates the real activity financed by public funds, regardless of what agency is actually spending the funds. Thus, it must be emphasized that these figures cannot be compared with traditional measurements based on the expenditures of the ministries (institutional approach), nor with measurements based on expenditures by ministry or by function/program aggregate outlays that, in general, combine different types of real expenditures.
(**) Does not include the school lunch program, the portion of the Salary-Education collected by the states and the Federal District, nor the direct investments undertaken by the federal government.
(***) The changes in the procedure of transferring resources to the states and municipalities to finance the school lunch program led to this decline in outlays. Since 1993, the funds to finance the school lunch program during the first three months of the year are transferred in December of the preceding year. In 1996, the transfer made in December covered only nineteen days in January 1997. Thus, there was a decline in the amount of resources dedicated to the lunch program compared to earlier years. In fact, however, federal outlays in 1996 were sufficient for 163 days of the program whereas they covered 156 days in 1995 and 100 days in 1994.
