Public expenditure on culture (as indicated by general government expenditure in the cultural sector divided by total population) per capita in 2011 was approximately 45.05 EUR (on the basis of population as calculated in the preliminary results of the 2011 population census). It corresponds to 0.23% of the GDP.
These figures are based only on expenditure channelled to culture through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s ordinary and public investment budgets, as well as funds allocated to libraries and historical archives from the ordinary budget of the Ministry of Education, Lifelong Learning and Religious Affairs, i.e., it excludes cultural spending of local and regional government and other Ministries.
