Yao said that in the three quarters to September, fiscal revenue rose 31.4 percent year-on-year. He did not provide absolute figures.

Eight months to August fiscal revenue growth was earlier reported at 30.2 percent year-on-year to 3.48 trillion yuan.

The government has a 2007 fiscal revenue target of 4.4 trillion yuan, which would represent a rise of 13.8 percent.
