Of the total, revenue from domestic sources amounted to approximately VND1.16 quadrillion, reaching 86.8% of the estimate and falling by 5.9% versus the year-ago period.
Budget revenue from crude oil was recorded at around VND51.4 trillion, equivalent to 122.3% of the estimate yet decreasing by some 19.8% year-on-year.

According to the Ministry of Finance, budget collections from several sources were lower than expected. For instance, revenue from environmental protection taxes stood at 47.6% of the estimate, a 22.1% year-on-year drop, while revenue collected from fees and charges reached only 78.8% of the estimate.
