[01] Budget revenues surpass targets by 24 pct in October
General government budget revenue – pre tax returns - surpassed
budget targets by 24 pct in October, Alternate Finance Minister Christos
Staikouras said on Tuesday.
A ministry statement said that "the general government budget's
data for the first nine months of the year supported the estimate
that 2013 will end with a primary budget surplus. Additionally, the
October figures surpassed targets." The statement noted that pre-tax
return revenue totaled 4.8 billion euros in October, up by 750 million
euros, or 24 pct compared with the budget target for the month. Budget
revenues continued to surpass targets for the fourth consecutive month,
helping the 10-month figure to surpass budget targets. "With the painful
contribution of households and enterprises the country is approaching
its fiscal targets," the statement noted.
