Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 20/ Trend , E. Ismayilova, J. Babayev/

Decreased oil prices will not impact social programs and international projects, Parliamentary Economic Policy Commission head Ziyad Samadzade said.

"The decrease will not impact social programs even at $50 per barrel. No international projects will be canceled," Samadzade said.

He said Azerbaijan has enough currency reserves to implement the programs.

Oil prices have been fixed at $70 in the Azerbaijani budget.

The oil prices will be reconsidered in May 2009. 

"The oil prices were fixed at $70 per barrel. Oil prices may increase as developed countries take measures to recover their economies. It will lead to a rise in oil demand," Samadzade said.
