November 4, Fineko/abc.az. In 2026, State Budget revenues from the non-oil/gas sector in Azerbaijan can cover 88.1% of current expenses.

ABC.AZ reports that Finance Minister Sahil Babayev said this during the discussion of the Draft Law on the State Budget for 2026 in the Committee on Economic Policy, Industry and Entrepreneurship of the Milli Majlis.

"Next year, our current expenditures should make up 60.3% of budget expenditures - 25.2 billion manats, which is 18% more than the actual figure for 2024 and 400 million manats more than the forecast figure for 2025," he said.

Babayev stressed that one of the government's goals is to fully cover current expenses due to non-oil/gas revenues: "If this ratio reaches 88% next year, then by 2029 our goal is to reach 100%."
