In January, the State Customs Committee contributed 173.9 million manat to the state budget, which is 70.3 million manat or 67% more than in January 2016.
Growth of customs revenues year on year is due to the dollar exchange rate: customs duties and taxes are charged in US dollars, and are paid in devalued manat.
In 2017 forecast on customs revenues is 2.2 billion manat. According to the State Customs Committee, in 2016 customs officers collected 2 billion 291 million AZN. ----08D

In recent days, there have been claims that bread prices in Azerbaijan have risen. Social media users report that the price of bread has increased by 5-10 qepiks. According to consumer complaints, it is difficult to find weight information on factory-produced bread, commonly known as "zavod çörəyi" in Azerbaijan. In many cases, bread packaging does not include weight details. Similarly, bread sold at smaller bakeries and tandir houses often lacks information apart from the price.
