The Serbian Ministry of Finance announced that the state of account for execution of the republic's budget at the Treasury Directorate stood at RSD 17.86 billion yesterday, which is an absolute record since the consolidation of accounts of all budgetary users is being made.
The state of the entire consolidated account of the treasury was RSD 95.17 billion yesterday. The consolidated treasury account, excluding the account for budget execution, includes sub-accounts of budgetary users, funds of obligatory social insurance and state of local budgets sub-accounts.
The present situation regarding state RSD funds is owing to the good realisation of proceeds from VAT; during the first 18 days of April more than RSD 20 million were paid. Proceeds from excise duty worth RSD 5.34 billion also contributed in this respect.
The foreign currency reserves of Serbia on April 17 stood at €1.1 billion, reads the statement.
