The given graph shows the past and projected figures of the government spending as 
a percentage of GDP for the years 2000 to 2025 in three areas. Summarise the 
information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons 
where relevant. 
The given line graph elucidates the percentage of GDP spent by government on education, 
health and roads and railways from 2000 to the present time and also gives projections upto 
2025. It can be clearly seen that the amount spent on education and health show opposing 
trends upto the present time and are expected to continue that trend in future also. 
In 2000, the percentage of GDP spent on education was 5%, which was the maximum. The 
amount spent in this field decreased steadily over time and presently is approximately 4.1% 
and in future also it is expected to decline and reach about 3.9% by 2025. In contrast, the 
percentage of gross domestic product spent on health stood at 4% in 2000. This figure grew 
moderately to 5.6 % by 2005 and after that there has been a slight increase till today. This 
spending is expected to grow in future also and by 2025 it is forecast to be about 7.5%.
From 2000 to 2005, the percentage of GDP spent on roadways and railways increased 
minimally from 4 to 4.5% abut after that showed a dramatic fall till 2010 and reached 3% of 
the GDP. The spending on these public transports has picked up and is near about 3.6 %. 
This growth in expenditure is expected to continue till 2020 but after that is predicted to 
show a slight decrease. 
Overall, health is one area in which the government spending was the least in 2000 and is 
expected to be the most by 2025.
