Where does the minister of finance get the money to allocate to the various state departments?

The minister of finance typically allocates funds to various state departments from the government's budget, which is primarily generated through taxation, including income tax, sales tax, and corporate taxes. Additionally, the government may receive revenue from fees, fines, and other sources, such as grants or loans from international organizations. The minister also may manage public debt, issuing bonds or borrowing to finance government expenditures when necessary. Overall, the allocation is guided by fiscal policy and legislative approval.
