That number seems hard to believe? Specifically that non government spending would be this low. Presumably "compulsory" includes way more than direct government spending.

According to the world bank it's closer to 40:60 (government spending still being the majority). So that puts it behind Switzerland but still more than combined spending in just about any other country.
