In 2025, state-owned enterprises in Azerbaijan contributed 636.6 million manats in dividends to the national budget.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, this figure was disclosed in the draft law "On the execution of the 2025 state budget." The document is currently under review at a session of the Economic Policy, Industry, and Entrepreneurship Committee of the Milli Majlis (National Assembly).
The draft law specifies that the majority of these dividends, totaling 461.5 million manats, were generated by the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOCAR). An additional 175.1 million manats were contributed by the International Bank of Azerbaijan (IBA) OJSC.
The transfer of dividends from state-owned enterprises plays a critical role in strengthening Azerbaijan's fiscal stability. These funds are typically allocated to support various national infrastructure projects, social welfare programs, and the diversification of the non-oil economy, aligning with the government's long-term strategic development goals.
