Azerbaijan Cities and Districts to Self-Finance Local Spending From Next Year

Azerbaijan plans to require all of its cities and districts to cover local expenditures from their own revenues starting next year. The approach is reflected in the draft state budget for 2027.

The report says the approach raises a number of questions about the financial capacity of the regions. It does not provide details on how local revenues will be calculated, which districts will be affected, or how expenses not covered by local income will be handled.
