Lower spending, extra revenues result in budget execution beating targets in March
Greece’s budget execution showed the 3-month primary surplus rose to 1.74 billion euros, up 12.6 percent, while the 2-month underperformance of 173 million turned to an over-performance of 1.62 billion, according to the Finance Ministry (MoF) preliminary budget bulletin published on Thursday.
