He said in 2015 SOCAR’s loss totaled 1,043,500,000 AZN. However, last year SOCAR’s profit was 3,271,000,000 AZN at the expense of re-evaluation of the company’s assets in foreign currency (in 2014 – 3,830,000,000 AZN or $4.9 billion).
By the end of the years SOCAR’s assets totaled 39,083,000,000 AZN, Gasymov said.
He also said that in 2016 the company is hoping to save 336.8 million AZN at the expense of implementation of the program of optimization of expenses.
