President: “Thanks to the tax authorities alone, 1.4 billion manats have been transferred into the treasury in addition to the forecast”

“Thanks to the tax authorities alone, 1.4 billion manats have been transferred into the treasury in addition to the forecast, and using this money we are implementing large-scale social initiatives,” Report informs that President Aliyev said this in his address to the people of Azerbaijan on the occasion of December 31 – the Day of Solidarity of World Azerbaijanis and the New Year.

The president said:

“From 1 January, salaries, pensions and benefits will be significantly increased. The total amount of this social package, which covers two million and one hundred thousand people, is 1.5 billion manats. As you can see, tax authorities have attracted 1.4 billion manats into the treasury in addition to the forecast, and all of that, in excess, is aimed at addressing social problems. I have said before that as additional funds are raised, we will first channel these funds into social projects. At the same time, work done in the liberated lands is socially oriented. Because the vast majority of this work is of social nature, it is intended to return the former IDPs to those territories as soon as possible.”
