Indonesia's govt revenue stabilizes

JAKARTA — The drop in Indonesian government's revenues stabilized in July, although income from corporate tax for the first seven months of the year remained in contraction, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said on Tuesday.

The government ran a budget deficit that equaled 0.41 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), or 93.4 trillion rupiah ($5.9 billion), for the seven months ended July, the minister said in a press conference, bigger than the 0.34-percent deficit recorded in January to June.
