Variations from Budget

The final result for the year was a surplus of $19.928 million, compared with a budget surplus of $11.851 million. The main factors causing this surplus are:

  • An increase in personnel costs of $9.175 million due to one off increases in leave provisions associated with the implementation of the revised military remuneration system.
  • An underspend of $11.493 million in operating expenditure due to delays in the delivery of Protector vessels and aircraft undergoing major modifications resulting in reduced levels of operational activity and maintenance.
  • An underspend in operating expenditure on operationally deployed forces of $4.797 million.
