The Economic Programme Oversight Committee (EPOC) has indicated that two months into the current quarter the government is exceeding some of its budgeted targets.
EPOC said at the end of August, the Net International Reserves had already surpassed the target for the entire September quarter at US$2.56 billion compared with the US$1.44 billion targeted.
The primary surplus also stood at $27.8 billion compared with the $23.8 billion budgeted.

However, at a media briefing today, EPOC co-chair, Richard Byles, said revenue performance for the first four months of the fiscal year is slightly below the target, with a shortfall of $82 million.
