Increase of the interest rates in the international financial markets may increase the expenditures in the budget for the Southern Gas Corridor project planned to be funded by external borrowings. If unfavourable conjuncture is formed in the international financial markets, the state budget may be revised in order SOCAR to pay liabilities to be generated on the Southern Gas Corridor.
