Non-deficit Budget of SSPF to Increase
According to the State Social Protection Fund (SSPF) of Azerbaijan, the amendments to the state budget will be reflected in its income. This figure will increase by approximately 7.4% (from the 3,078,570,000 AZN approved by the Azerbaijani President to 3,307.36 million AZN).
As a rule, the bulk of the revenue of the deficit-free budget of the Fund amounts to compulsory social security contributions (4.2% - up to 2 billion 54.99 million), with the main share for the private sector (presumably + 22,540,000 to 1 billion 294.74 million manats).
Transfers from the state budget will also grow - according to expectations, by 13.3% to 1 billion 246 million manats.
Payment of pensions will be spent, supposedly 3 billion 136.1 million manats (the approved figure is 2 billion 923 million 588 thousand manats), and the payment of benefits will be AZN 102.85 million (approved is 87 million 557 thousand manats). --17D-
