About two-thirds of income of SOFAR aimed at plugging budget holes

From the beginning of 2003 to October 1, 2014 the total volume of transfers to the state budget from the State Oil Fund of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOFAR) amounted to 53 billion 834,700,000 manat. Given the fact that during this time its account received about 90 billion manat, it's a lot (60%).

According to the Fund, since the beginning of this year the volume of transfers from the State Oil Fund to the state budget amounted to 7 billion 399,700,000 manat.

SOFAR was created by the presidential decree of 29 December 1999 and is the budget state institution, accountable only to the President. It accumulates revenues from the sale of oil contracts, in particular, from the sale of profit oil and gas of the state, transit tariffs for the transportation of oil and gas in the country, from the lease of state property and so forth. --17D-
