"We hope not to have to convert development resources into current expenditure in the years ahead," he said.

The first, for current expenditures, pays 1,500 doctors still working in the republic, the nurses and the 3,500 teachers.

Not cheap, but then, it didn't represent current expenditure anyway.

The current expenditure on these tax benefits would be taken as the cash ceiling.

The current overall expenditure on education is about 12.6 percent as of 2007.

A 15 percent a year cut in current and planned military expenditures would yield $450 billion over the decade.

This represented 45% of their net current expenditure on personal social services.

Which is exactly what Brown did, taking from future pensioners in order to fund current expenditure.

An extra $7 billion was needed to cover current expenditures.

We therefore do not want the Commission to deal with any more current expenditure.
