China's Fiscal Revenue Growth Slowest Since 1991

China's fiscal revenue grew at the slowest pace since 1991, data from the Ministry of Finance showed Friday.

Revenue increased 8.6 percent to CNY 14.03 trillion in 2014 compared to a 10.2 percent rise in 2013. Land sales revenue gained only 3.2 percent due to the slowdown in property market activity.

At the same time, fiscal expenditure rose at a slower pace of 8.2 percent to CNY 15.16 trillion.

As a result, the fiscal deficit came in at CNY 1.13 trillion in 2014.
