January 8, Fineko/abc.az. “Of course, the budget parameters also reflect the economic potential of each country: both parameters and dynamics. That is, this year's budget is at a record high”, President Ilham Aliyev said during his interview with local channels on January 7.

“Budget expenditures exceed 41 billion manats. The overall budget is in excess of 48 billion manats. There has never been such a large budget in the history of Azerbaijan. Listing all these factors, I want to show once again that we have achieved these results solely at the expense of internal resources, as a result of transparency, governance, and sound economic policies. I have repeatedly stated this, and I think everyone now sees this, that the political independence of each country depends on its economic independence. If you are not dependent on anyone in economic and financial matters, you can conduct an independent policy. Therefore, in general, there are, of course, many other parameters. But these are the main economic indicators. Of course, this allows us the opportunity to implement social programs more actively,” the head of state pointed out.
