The Azerbaijani government expects revenues to the State Oil Fund to be 5 billion 711.6 million mantas in 2016. The Fund will spend 1 488 400 000 manats more for the year, said the Ministry of Finance.
The following year, the Fund's income will be reduced by 3 billion 534.1 million manats (-34.5%) compared with the index forecast for this year. SOFAZ expenditures over the year will decline by 4.1 billion manats or 33.4%.

It is noteworthy that the government introduces this trend as its own deliberate policy to reduce the budget dependence on the oil factor.
