An Exchequer deficit of €3,430 million was recorded to end April 2018. This compares to a deficit of €2,537 million in the same period last year. The €893 million year-on-year decrease in the Exchequer balance was primarily due to an increase in expenditure (both voted and non-voted expenditure), which was somewhat offset by increased tax revenue.
