Unprogrammed funds raise 2024 budget to P5.93 T

Latest data from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) showed that the adjusted program for the year has been set at P5.932 trillion as of end-October.

The amount is P164.08 billion above the programmed P5.768 trillion budget. The entire additional fund went to unprogrammed appropriations.

Unprogrammed appropriations provide standby authority to incur additional agency obligations for priority programs or projects when revenue collection exceeds targets, and when additional grants or foreign funds are generated.
