Great content but very concerning that sudden decline of the GIA from 2023 into 2024. I am not an economist so can anyone explain the fall from BWP 12bn to BWP 3bn in the space of a year??

[@BlaugranaEverything]

9:45 listen from the point where she said "Government spending substantially increased..." she lists off a bunch of stuff that increased expenditure from 2023 to 2024, the figures add up to roughly 9bn Pula which is the difference in the GIA 2023 and 2024 figures
