THE PUBLICATION OF EXPENDITURES ON THE procurement of vehicles, receptions and overseas trips by central government departments and their local counterparts is important for people to know how public money is being used.
By the weekend, 95 central government departments had published their balance sheets for 2013, which shows that the spending in the three areas was actually 815 million yuan ($132 million) less than the budget, a saving of 10.2 percent.
Not bad.
