It is a commitment to spend money on a particular item or activity. Provisions are usually made for things like salaries, pensions, and other recurring expenses. They can also be made for one-time expenses, such as the purchase of a new building or the construction of a new road.<\/p>\n<p>Subsidies are payments made by the government to businesses or individuals to help them cover the costs of production or consumption. Grants are payments made by the government to businesses or individuals for a specific purpose, such as research or education.
