Spending over time

Month by month and year by year: the pace, the season and the growth of public spending.

Figures cover: CPV 799

The page shows change over time, so it has no period filter; the other filters apply to every series.

Monthly spending, by stream

  • The period is not over: the data runs to September 2026, and the figures will grow with the next update.
  • 2018 is incomplete: direct purchases appear in the data only from April.
  • Late December 2023 is missing from the data (29–31 December and part of 22 December).
  • Not applied here: cpv code. The data behind this figure does not carry that breakdown.

Year to date

Each line adds up the months of one year. The current year, in red, stops at the last month imported.

A year spent evenly would show 8.3% a month. A dash is a month without data, not one without spending.

How it is computed

Money spent
Every amount is money spent: the value of direct purchases, the value in offline purchases and the value of tender contracts (contracts and subsequent contracts). Framework agreements are not counted, because the money goes through the subsequent contracts.
Period
Money is booked in the year it was spent: the finalisation date for direct purchases and offline purchases (or the publication date where there is none), the contract date for tenders. First half: January–June; second half: July–December.
The three streams
Direct purchases from the electronic catalogue, offline purchases (direct purchases made outside the catalogue) and tenders. The first two together are direct purchasing, with the same legal ceilings.
Tender money
A contract over several lots is split between them by estimated value, as in indicator #05, so every leu carries its lot's CPV code and place of performance. A contract is counted once.

How to read the figures

The month grid
Each cell is the month's share of its year's total, so years of different size compare on one scale. A year spent evenly would show 8.3% a month.
Comparison
The change is taken against the same period a year earlier. If the current period is not over, the comparison uses the same months only.
What the data lacks
The data starts in April 2018 for direct purchases; late December 2023 is missing; the current year is incomplete. The notes under each figure say when it matters.

* Year in progress: the data runs to September 2026, and its change compares the same months of the previous year.

Stream amounts lead to the purchases they were added up from. Direct purchases and offline purchases give the exact amount. For tenders, the notices of the period open, by main CPV code: the amount in the table is the contracts', dated at signature and split across lots.

  • The period is not over: the data runs to September 2026, and the figures will grow with the next update.
  • 2018 is incomplete: direct purchases appear in the data only from April.
  • Late December 2023 is missing from the data (29–31 December and part of 22 December).
