According to the information provided by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the “Disclosure on the preliminary indicators of the state and consolidated budgets for 2026” was prepared in accordance with the methodology of the “Open Budget Survey” in order to ensure the principles of transparency. The forecasts reflected in the document will support Azerbaijan's economic stability, the sustainability of its development potential in the coming years, and the strengthening of the country's position as a reliable partner in the international arena. The 2026 state budget is part of the strategy to reduce the dependence of the Azerbaijani economy on oil and ensure sustainable growth. The share of the oil and gas sector in revenues is limited to 42.6 percent, and emphasis is placed on expanding the tax base and diversifying exports. Increasing social spending will strengthen support mechanisms for the population.
