January State budget revenue reaches US$3.4 billion

State budget revenue in January was estimated at VND71.7 trillion (US$3.4 billion), the Ministry of Finance said.

The sum accounted for 9.2 per cent of the year's estimate.

Of the amount, VND53.3 trillion ($2.5 billion) was from domestic tax collections, according to data from the ministry.

The State-owned economic sector experienced high budget collections, with a 12.9 per cent rise, and the private industry and trade sectors' revenues rose 9.3 per cent.

The increase was attributed to robust production and trade in the past year and the first month of this year.
