January 7, Fineko/abc.az. Since April 2025, the funds of the unified treasury account in the national currency have been placed on deposits using the auction method. The main purpose of using this mechanism is to manage State Budget funds more effectively and generate additional budget revenues, ABC.AZ reports with reference to the Ministry of Finance.

Within this mechanism, free funds temporarily not used in the State Budget are placed in the banking sector through transparent and competitive deposit auctions. At auctions, banks bid at interest rates, and in banks offering the highest interest rate, funds are directed to deposits. This approach, on the one hand, helps generate additional interest income for the State Budget, and, on the other, to increase liquidity in the banking sector.

As a result of deposit auctions conducted in the first 9 months of 2025, interest income in the amount of 98.6 million manats was transferred to the State Budget. In addition, as a result of the placement and management of foreign currency funds in liquid funds abroad through the mediation of the Central Bank, interest income in the equivalent of 22.4 million manats was received for the year.

As a result, thanks to the effective management of the unified treasury account, 121 million manats were transferred to the State Budget in 2025.
