China's Ministry of Finance said on Tuesday that government revenues in the world's second largest economy grew nearly 22 percent year-on-year to more than 125 billion U.S. dollars in November.

The Ministry says growth in fiscal revenues was higher than the 13.7-percent rate seen in October.

And that in the first 11 months, the country's fiscal revenues hit 1.76 trillion dollars, up nearly 12 percent year-on-year.

But growth in government inflows was still down from the almost 27-percent growth seen last year.

The Ministry says the slowing economy, falling corporate profits, government tax cuts and lower consumer inflation contributed to lower government revenues.
