A discrepancy of 299.1 million manat ($174.5 million) has been found in Azerbaijan's 2026 budget.

Azerbaijan’s GDP is projected at 134.1 billion manat ($78.4 billion) in 2026, growing 2.9 percent.

Azerbaijan’s draft 2026 state budget proposes 631.6 million manat (about $372 million) for culture, art, media, sports, and youth programs.

Azerbaijan projects average annual inflation at 5.4% in 2025 and 4.8% in 2026.

This amount will cover regular passenger transport by road, a permit system for international transport, installation and restoration of road signs, and management of traffic and pedestrian infrastructure.

The 2026 draft budget envisages 1.9 billion manat ($1.17 billion) for agriculture, housing, and the environment.

A subsidy of 33.8 million manat ($19.9 million) is planned next year for the Azeristiliktechizat Open Joint-Stock Company to cover losses from heating supply tariffs being below production cost.

The 2026 state budget underscores Azerbaijan’s continued focus on industrial modernization, with major capital investments directed toward the reconstruction of the Heydar Aliyev Oil Refinery and broader infrastructure development.

Azerbaijan’s 2026 budget anticipates a slight overall drop in excise tax revenues compared to 2025, driven by lower oil-sector collections, while non-oil revenues rise due to higher excise rates and stronger domestic consumption.

In 2026, Azerbaijan’s gas production is forecast to decline by 1.6% to 38 billion cubic meters.
