Very weird discrepancy in the somali economy

@Idilinaa @Barkhadle1520

I think you guys might be intrested in this . I was looking at this report info from the official govt statsics twitter. If you look at the the government expenditure vs the household final expenditure the gap is honestly insane. Its $980 million for the govt and $15 billion for the household.
To out that into perspective the gap for Kenya is 12 billion for the government expenditure and 80 billion for the household. That a 1 to 6 ratio . Ours is a 1 to 17 ratio

1) I think this confirms how much larger the economy is than the statsics tell us if these households are somehow consuming $15 billion dollars in goods and services.

2) it shows how our economic growth isnt at all influence by govt spending which i dont think is the case with other african countries
