* The total of the “Administration Budget” and “Near cash in Resource DEL” figures may well be greater than total resource DEL, due to the definitions overlapping.
** Capital DEL includes items treated as resource in estimates and accounts but which are treated as capital DEL in budgets.
*** Depreciation, which forms part of resource DEL, is excluded from total DEL since capital DEL includes capital spending and to include depreciation of those assets would lead to double counting.
