Kuwait's finance ministry has reported a preliminary budget surplus of KD4.99bn ($17.5bn) in the first six months of the fiscal year through March 2010, thanks to larger than expected oil revenue, Bloomberg has reported. Government revenue fell 43% to KD8.22bn, while spending amounted to KD3.23bn, the ministry said. The government had forecast a budget deficit of KD4.8bn for the fiscal year, based on an oil price of $35 a barrel.
