Last year's figure/Last year figure
Remittances from overseas Vietnamese channeled through HCM City banks rose to a four-year high of US$4.85 billion last year, far more than the target set last year by the Central Bank's HCM City branch.
Last year's figure was $750 million higher than the amount in 2012.
Source: "Remittances pour in from overseas", VNS.
Is it also correct to use "Last year figure"? If so, which one is better and which one do you prefer?
Thank you.

Thank you. I thought we can use the noun phrase "last year" as an adjective there.
