Cypriot deficit
Cyprus's central government deficit widened 5.7 percent in the first seven months of 2010, the Finance Ministry said. The gap grew to 453.3 million euros ($579 million), or 2.6 percent of gross domestic product, from 429 million euros, or 2.5 percent of GDP, a year earlier, the Nicosia-based ministry said yesterday in a statement on its website. Revenues rose 7.3 percent to 3.5 billion euros as non-tax revenues climbed 55 percent to 567 million euros. That outstripped the 1.2 percent increase in tax revenues, which totaled about 3 billion euros, according to the ministry. Expenditures rose 7.4 percent in the seven months through July to 4 billion euros, mainly due to a 9.5 percent increase in current transfers to 1.1 billion euros and a 10 percent gain in social security payments to 709.8 million euros, the ministry said. Total pensions and gratuities jumped 23 percent to 257 million euros, while salaries advanced 1.6 percent to just over 1 billion euros. (Bloomberg)
