The result was lower than in the same month of last year \u2013 13.6 billion reals (US$ 7.2 billion). <\/p>\n<p> In the first quarter, the primary surplus reached 45.972 billion reals (US$ 24.3 billion), as against 39.262 billion reals (US$ 20.8 billion) in the first quarter of 2011. In the 12-month period ended March, the surplus reached 135.421 billion reals (US$ 71.8 billion), a figure equivalent to 3.22% of all the country produced. The primary public sector surplus target for this year is 139.8 billion reals (US$ 74.1 billion).<\/p>\n<p> However, the fiscal efforts of the public sector were not enough to make up for spending on nominal interest charged on the debt.
