MOSCOW (Reuters) -- The budget surplus, boosted by high oil prices and lower debt payments, surged in the first four months of the year, according to preliminary data released Thursday.
A Finance Ministry official said the surplus hit 31.7 billion rubles ($1 billion), or 0.8 percent of gross domestic product. That compares with a 1.95 billion ruble surplus, or 0.1 percent of GDP, in January-March.
The primary surplus, which excludes foreign debt payments, amounted to 121.3 billion rubles, or 3.2 percent of GDP, he added.
