In 1909, the revenue amounted to $370,959 and the expenditure to $377,062. In 1921, the revenue had risen to $1,160,261 and the expenditure to $1,678,431. The public debt at the transference of the suzerainty was $150,000, upon which Siam charged 9 per cent. This debt was taken over by the F.M.S., interest being reduced to 4 per cent. The debit balance of the State at the end of 1921 was $3,342,616. The value of the imports in 1921 was $4,108,595 against $5,679,510 in 1920, and of exports $2,848,171 against $6,206,642 in 1920. The principal imports were:-ironware, cotton piece goods, sarlongs, silk piece goods, cycles and accessories, coal, woodenware, machinery, cement, earthen- ware, matches, kerosene, opium, tobacco, salt and woollen goods. The tonnage of steamers using Kelantan ports amounted to 88,140 in 1921 against 98,191 in 1920. There is regular steamship communication with Bangkok and Singapore. The first all- weather road was completed in 1916; it runs 26 miles from the capital to Pasir Puteh. The trunk road from Kota Bharu to Kuala Krai lacks a few bridges to make it usable in dry weather. There is now daily connection by rail between Tumpat and Kuala Krai, 60 miles up river. The line to the Siamese border is open for traffic, and a daily service each way between Tumpat and the Kedah boundary is maintained, making communication with Penang an easy matter. Kota Bharu is in direct telegraphic communication with Bangkok and Penang and possesses a telephone service. It is also connected by telephone with Tumpat, the port of Kelantan, and Pasir Puteh. There is a telegraph line connecting Kota Bharu with Kuala Krai.
About 381,690 acres were under cultivation in 1921. They comprised 159,961 acres devoted to padi, 70,944 to coconuts, and 105,000 to rubber.

The export of tin ore in 1921 amounted to 71.35 piculs, against 40.08 piculs in 1920.
