Analysis of Financial Self Reliance of The Office of The Permanent Secretary of MOPH, Ministry of Public Health

Abstract

This article aims to compare the actual revenues and expenditures of the government budget and off-budget funds for the fiscal years 2018 to 2023, and to analyze the financial self- reliance of the Office of the Permanent Secretary of MOPH for the fiscal years 2024 to 2028. Data was collected from financial reports of both the government budget and off-budget funds for the fiscal years 2018 to 2023 and analyzed using descriptive statistics. To assess financial self-reliance, a trend line equation was used to forecast linear trends, and the Revenue Independence Index (RII) was applied. The study found that when comparing the actual revenues and expenditures of the government budget, allocated revenue decreased while actual expenditures increased each year, particularly for personnel expenses. In contrast, off-budget funds showed higher revenues than expenditures. For the fiscal years 2024 to 2028, the analysis indicated that the government budget is expected to experience reduced allocations and increased expenditures, with personnel expenses being the largest proportion of both allocations and spending. Off-budget funds are projected to have higher revenues than expenditures. The Office of the Permanent Secretary of MOPH demonstrated a financial self-reliance in terms of revenue, with an average self-reliance rate of 68.62%, indicating a moderate level of financial independence.
