AIC complex revenues constantly flow filling the budget in the first quarter

UNIAN reported that AIC was beating all other industries during the first quarter of 2002 in terms of paying the taxes to the budget, according to the newly appointed AIC Minster Serhiy Ryzhouk.

According to him, January figures of budget projections were fulfilled by 98%, in February by 101%, in March by 91% whereas other industries were showing only 50-60% of the projected figures.

Due to this, Ryzhouk also announced that when the State Budget for the next year will be discussed in May in high places the AIC Ministry would ask for increased AIC payments from the budget to offset the increased payments of the AIC to the budget.
