Distribution

These credits can be divided into 3 groups.

3 groups of appropriations (2022)
3 groups of appropriations (2022)

Staff appropriations

The staff appropriations, which represent 52% of the budget, comprise 2 parts:

  1. the salary envelope provides the necessary appropriations for the execution of the staff plan. Statutory and contractual employees are paid from these funds
  2. appropriations to pay the seconded employees of the ASBL EGOV. These are mainly IT profiles.

These appropriations have been increased due to decisions taken in the context of the 2023 budgetary control. The most important decisions concern additional funds for onboarding employees of other federal organisations to PersoPoint, the impact of the 2022 indexation and specific measures.

Operational appropriations

Operational appropriations (43%) include appropriations that the directorates-general can use. These are functional appropriations and investment appropriations:

  • DG Internal Support Services appropriations are used for the proper functioning of the FPS. IT expenditure accounts for an important part of this
  • the appropriations of the other DGs are used for the core tasks of the FPS.

Grants

The FPS BOSA is also responsible for awarding a series of optional grants through so-called grant decrees. These are mainly grants to recognised trade unions to organise training, grants to bridge the digital divide and grants to support artificial intelligence.
