The Puerto Rico Treasury Department reported Thursday preliminary revenue for July 2014, the first month of the current fiscal year, reached $624 million, up $129 million, or 26 percent, from the total on record for the same month last year.
Puerto Rico’s General Fund revenue collections for the month of January amounted to $664 million, a figure that is $1 million less than the same period last fiscal year, but that Treasury Secretary Melba Acosta described as a “record.”
