In December, the primary surplus had reached R$ 1 billion (US$ 349.5 million).<\/p>\n<p>The National Treasury achieved a R$ 16.197 billion (US$ 5.660 billion) surplus. The National Social Security Institute (INSS) ran a R$ 5.651 billion (US$ 1,975 billion) deficit, and the Central Bank had a R$ 140.5 million (US$ 49.1 million) deficit.
