ALGIERS, July 12 (Xinhua) -- The Algerian Finance Ministry on Friday said the government has collected some 20.3 billion U.S. dollars from oil taxes during the first four months of 2013.

Citing a report of the Finance Ministry, the official APS news agency indicated that the North African nation collected some 17 billion dollars during the first four months of 2012.

The average price of the Algerian crude oil reached 109.05 dollars a barrel between January and May 2013, compared to 117.25 dollars a barrel during the same period in 2012.
