Its revenues reached 10.698 billion manats ($6.293 billion) by July 1, while expenditures stood at 4.499 billion manats. Oil and gas agreements generated 8.557 billion manats in revenue, including 7.781 billion manats from oil and gas sales, 766 million manats in bonus payments, 8.9 million manats in transit fees and 1.1 million manats from acreage fees. The fund's extra-budgetary expenditures related to the revaluation of foreign exchange totaled 513.1 million manats.
