According to figures published by the Hong Kong Financial Services & Treasury Bureau (FSTB) last Thursday, government spending for the first month of the current financial year amounted to $17.6 billion, with revenue at $24.2 billion, resulting in a $6.6 billion surplus.
The FSTB explained last week that the surplus was mainly due to salaries tax and land premiums receipts.
For the land premium, a total of $7.3 billion was received in April, mainly from sales by public auction.
Fiscal reserves stood at $375.8 billion as at April 30, the Bureau concluded.
