Revenue collected by local governments is projected to be 6.657 trillion yuan, up 9%. Adding the 4.8857 trillion yuan in tax rebates and transfer payments from the central government, revenue of local governments should amount to 11.5427 trillion yuan. Local government expenditure is expected to come to 11.7543 trillion yuan, up 9.9%. Adding the 138.4 billion yuan used to repay the principal on local government bonds, total expenditure will come to 11.8927 trillion yuan. Total expenditure exceeds total revenue by 350 billion yuan, which will be made up, with the approval of the State Council, by the Ministry of Finance issuing bonds on behalf of local governments and incorporated into provincial-level government budgets. (As revenue and expenditure budgets of local governments are compiled by local people's governments and subject to approval of people's congresses at their respective levels, related data is still being collected. The abovementioned revenue and expenditure figures of local budgets have been compiled by the central finance authorities.)

Combining central and local budgets, national revenue will come to 12.663 trillion yuan, an increase of 8%. Including the 100 billion yuan from the central budget stabilization fund, total available revenue is projected to be 12.763 trillion yuan. National expenditure is budgeted at 13.8246 trillion yuan, up 10%. Adding the 138.4 billion yuan used to repay the principal on local government bonds, total expenditure will come to 13.963 trillion yuan. Total expenditure is projected to exceed total revenue by 1.2 trillion yuan, an increase of 400 billion yuan from last year. This deficit is equivalent to about 2% of GDP.
