According to the ministry, Azerbaijan will continue to conduct policy to reduce dependence of the state and consolidated budget on oil incomes: “According to the forecasts for 2017 and next three years, current expenditures of the state budget will be compensated by non-oil incomes since 2020. At the same time, the consolidated budget deficit, which is calculated without taking into account the SOFAZ revenues, will be 6.9% of GDP in 2020”.
