An Exchequer deficit of €24 million was recorded to end May 2018. This compares to a surplus of €383 million in the same period last year. The €407 million year-on-year decrease in the Exchequer balance was primarily due to an increase in expenditure (both voted and non-voted), which was somewhat offset by increased tax revenue.
