The State Social Protection Fund (SSPF) has received access to the portal of government payments.
According to the information of the Central Bank of AR, the integration of internal information systems with the portal has been completed. This means that individuals engaged in business, landlords and other businesses can make payments on compulsory social insurance with the portal infrastructure.
Now it will be possible to make payments on compulsory social insurance through 41 branches and offices of the bank and about 1,200 offices of Azerpocht.
Thus, in the central database information is incorporated on approximately 125,000 policyholders operating in the capital, as well as in Sumgayit, Khirdalan, Ganja, Agjabedi, Bilasuvar, Beylagan, Barda, Jalilabad, Goychay, Ismayilli, Kurdamir, Lankaran, Gabala, Shamakhi, Shirvan, Khachmaz and Yevlakh.
With the introduction of a central treasury account in other regions, information of the insured in these cities and regions will be entered into the central database.
Prior to SSPF the government payments portal integrated the internal information system of the Ministry of Taxes and State Traffic Police.
According to the Central Bank, integration is carried out with the internal information portals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Health, the State Customs Committee, State Committee for Securities and other government agencies. - 17D-

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.
