2007 State Budget to be reconsidered in May

Ziyad Samadzade, Chair of Parliament Commission for Economic Policy, told that energy prices increase in early January and the Government's measures toward improvement of the social protection made reconsideration urgent.

"These were not taken into account when the draft state budget was discussed in late 2006. Revenues and expenditures of the budget will be amended in May," he noted.

He added that reconsideration of the state budget is aimed at strengthening the social protection of the population, APA reports.
