Government's operating deficit came lower than expected
The BC government's operating deficit for 2009-10 came in almost $1 billion lower than expected in its post-election forecast, thanks mostly to spending cuts in areas other than health care and education.
Fiscal deficit of the country will come down to 6.5 percent of the gross domestic product during this fiscal from the earlier estimate of 6.8 percent , after govt came out with a fresh estimate based on a new base year.
