BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 2. A total of 1.3 billion manat ($7.6 million) of additional income was received from the increase in oil prices in five months, Finance Minister of Azerbaijan Samir Sharifov said, Trend reports.

He made the remark at a joint meeting of the committees of the Milli Majlis (Parliament) on economic policy, industry, and entrepreneurship, and on labor and social policy during the discussion of amendments to the law "On the State Budget of the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2023".
