Over the last 10 years from the state budget of Azerbaijan were allocated for the construction sector by AZN 7 billion more than the education, health, administrative apparatus, science, social protection together, wrote on the Facebook page a well-known expert and economist Gubad Ibadoglu. In 2006-2015 from the state budget for the construction were allocated 44.6 billion manat, while for education -. 11.8 billion, social protection and welfare -. 11.1 billion, the state apparatus -. 10.1 billion, 4.7 billion healthcare.
"As can be seen, in the last 10 years, most of all oil revenues were spent on the construction sector which does not create value, and the currently decline is observed in this section. At the same time, the oil money were directed on non-commercial projects in construction," writes Ibadoglu.
Over the past 10 years the State Oil Fund received from directly from the sale of oil 125 billion manats. Of these, 90 billion manat were spent, including 67.2 billion manat as transfers to the state budget. -03D06-
