Government expenses hit $281.4b

Revenue stood at $321.4b.

According to a release, the Government recorded a $51.7 billion surplus in December, bringing its fiscal reserves to $709.1 billion.

Announcing its financial results for the nine months ending December 31, the Financial Services & the Treasury Bureau said expenditure for the nine-month period amounted to $281.4 billion, with revenue of $321.4 billion.

It said the December surplus was mainly due to the receipt of $37.7 billion in investment income on fiscal reserves.
