The money the Bangladesh government spends for floods, droughts and the like is what kind of expenditure of the government?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Expected expenditure
  2. b Unexpected expenditure
  3. c Social welfare expenditure
  4. d Health and family welfare expenditure
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b Unexpected expenditure

Spending to face floods, cyclones, droughts, surges and epidemics is unexpected expenditure.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Expected expenditure: Spending for floods and droughts cannot be foreseen, so the book calls it unexpected expenditure.
  • c Social welfare expenditure: Social welfare spending is for regular welfare programmes; emergency disaster spending is unexpected expenditure.
  • d Health and family welfare expenditure: Health and family welfare covers hospitals and disease prevention, not disaster response.
