Total expenses of $2,549.9 million were $54.3 million higher than December year to date budget figures of $42,495.6 million. The major increases in total expenses included higher grants and purchased services of $62.2 million, and this was due to the timing of payments for the purchase of properties related to the loose-fill asbestos insulation eradication scheme and other higher operating expenses of $17.6 million, mainly due to the higher than budgeted sales of land rent blocks that I discussed earlier. These increases were partially offset by lower supplies and services expenses of $22.6 million, which mainly reflects the timing of expenditure.
The general government sector balance sheet remains very strong, I am pleased to advise, represented by key indicators such as the territory’s net financial liabilities and net worth. I commend the December quarterly report to the Assembly.
