KUWAIT CITY, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Kuwait's Ministry of Finance on Wednesday announced the 2023-24 fiscal year ending March 2024 had concluded with a deficit of 1.6 billion Kuwaiti dinars (about 5.2 billion U.S. dollars) against a surplus of 6.4 billion dinars in the previous fiscal year.
The ministry said in a press release that for fiscal 2023-24 (April 2023-March 2024), the total actual revenues amounted to 23.6 billion dinars, a decrease of 17.9 percent from the previous year, and an expenditure of 25.2 billion dinars, following a 12.7-percent increase.
The drop in total revenues was mainly due to a 19.4 percent decline in oil revenues to 21.5 billion dinars in fiscal 2023-24.
According to the ministry, the actual non-oil revenues amounted to 2.1 billion dinars, an increase of 1.3 percent from the previous year.
The ministry pointed out that the average price of a Kuwaiti oil barrel was 84.36 U.S. dollars, while the daily average oil production was 2.65 million barrels. ■
