I don’t agree with the opinions on high amount of government expenditures, Minister of Finance Samir Sharifov said during discussion of the drafts of state and consolidated budget for 2018 at the plenary meeting of the parliament.
According to him, government expenditures must be considered on the basis of concrete figures: ‘It’s impossible and unfair to consider this issue on the basis of interest. Along with this, some reform measures were taken in 2017 upon the task of President Ilham Aliyev. As a result of this, AZN 17 million was saved’.
