Establishments reflect the number of officers that ministries can hire, but are not reflective of actual headcount, as establishments may not be filled by ministries even though they may be kept in anticipation of a future need. Figures for FY1997 to FY2022 are for actual headcount. Figures for FY2023 are for revised establishments. Figures for FY2024 are for budgeted establishments.

From Oct 2023, the Smart Nation and Digital Government Group under the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has merged with Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI)’s digital development functions to form an enlarged Smart Nation Group to better position the Government to advance the full range of the digital agenda. The new Smart Nation Group programme and Government Technology Agency programme will be reported under MCI from FY2024. Figures before FY2024 are reported under PMO.
