CHINA'S central government administrations and institutions spent 110 million yuan (US$17.3 million) less on overseas trips, vehicles, and receptions last year compared with 2010, the finance ministry said yesterday.
Expenses in the three areas, known as "three public consumptions," totaled 9.36 billion yuan in 2011, including 1.98 billion yuan for overseas trips, 5.92 billion yuan for vehicle purchases and maintenance and 1.47 billion yuan for receptions, said Finance Minister Xie Xuren yesterday.
The total figure for 2010 stood at 9.47 billion yuan, with overseas trips accounting for 1.77 billion yuan, vehicle purchases and maintenance 6.17 billion yuan and receptions 1.53 billion yuan.
It is the second year for the Chinese central government to disclose bills of the "three public consumptions." Xie said more details and explanations on the expenses need to be provided and all the provincial governments need to follow suit in making their expenditures public within two years.
Three public consumptions are often criticized as sources of corruption and waste of the public funds.
Last year, 199,600 government vehicles were found to be purchased or used against regulations on the use of public funds, and 170 officials involved were punished, authorities disclosed earlier.
