The SSC did not disclose the cost of population expenses. However, in January-May 2013, the population spent on goods and services 69.3% of its income (9 billion in total 3.8 million manat.) On payment of interest on loans (mainly consumer) spent 11.1% or 1.442.200 million manat, on accumulation and purchase of freely convertible currency - 19.6%, or 2.546.500 million manat.
Public expenses on servicing loans are increasing, more and more citizens are in debt, and the courts are full of claims about the alienation of the property because of non-returned loans. -17D-
