The Treasury's capital requirement
equaled 22.9 billion euros in the first seven months of the
year, down 1.4 billion euros compared to the same period in
2015, the finance ministry made known Monday.
The public sector posted surplus of 4.4 billion euros,
compared to requirements of 2.4 billion in the same period last
year.
The improvement was due to a "significant cut in overall
payments, which more than compensated for a reduction in total
income", the ministry said.
