Treasury Faces Revenue Deficit Amid Aldrich Act Constraints
The first half of the fiscal year ends December 31 with a revenue deficit of 56.5 million dollars and a treasury cash balance of 28.3 million. Treasury officers blame the Aldrich emergency currency act for depressing Panama 2s, hindering relief options, and delaying parity restoration. Officials note canal construction costs of about 7100.9 million to be reimbursed by canal bonds, and estimate the corporation tax may yield 2 million monthly, which would cut the deficit by about 4 million if in effect.
