Compared to 2018, the State Social Protection Fund (SSPF) now provides larger-scale, more accessible, faster, transparent and citizen-oriented services with a more optimized workforce and fewer, centralized structural units, SSPF Chairman Zeka Mirzayev said in an interview with APA.

He noted that while the annual volume of state social payments was around AZN 4 billion in 2018, the Fund currently ensures the payment of nearly AZN 11 billion annually on behalf of the state.

“However, the SSPF's objectives are not focused on international evaluations. The value of our achievements is not measured solely by international awards and recognitions. For us, the greatest reward is the trust we have earned from the people. If citizens feel the results of the reforms implemented under the instructions of our head of state through improvements in their social welfare, that is our greatest success. The recognition of this success as one of the best international practices globally provides us with additional motivation while also placing greater responsibility on us,” Mirzayev said.
