The study was conducted through many sources of information, where data and information were crucified to verify accuracy. The statistics report and analysis has gone through the stages of (a) statistical survey, (b) aggregation of data, and (c) processing and analysis.

The main source is the data of the Fiscal Bulletin of the Ministry of Finance and Economy, and Fiscal Programs of Governments of 20 years.
