June sees $900m deficit
*

A $900 million deficit was recorded in the Government's financial results for June, resulting in a $10.3 billion deficit for the financial year's first three months.

 

The Financial Services & the Treasury Bureau said $26.4 billion in revenue was collected in June, while the Government spent $27.3 billion.

 

The deficit for the period was mainly because some major types of revenue, including salaries and profits taxes, were mostly received towards the end of a financial year.

 

Spending for the three-month period ended June 30 was $71.1 billion and revenue was $60.8 billion. Fiscal reserves stood at $509.9 billion at the end of June.
