General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP
Azerbaijan's government revenue was 34.65% in 2025, ranked 56th globally. This represents a 8.7% decrease from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1994–2025.
Overview
Azerbaijan's government revenue stood at 34.65% in 2025, a decline of +3.32% from 2024. The IMF projects 34.65% by 2025. Azerbaijan ranked 56th globally.
Azerbaijan’s government revenue has risen from an early‑stage level of 17.87 in 1994 to 34.65 in 2025, placing the country 56th globally and situating it close to peers such as Mongolia (34.90) and the Kyrgyz Republic (34.45). The upward trajectory peaked in 2008 at 48.63 before falling to a trough of 17.57 in 1995, reflecting the volatility of the post‑Soviet transition and the impact of oil price cycles on fiscal collections. Over the 32‑year span, revenue growth has been driven largely by expanding hydrocarbon exports and gradual diversification of the tax base, while periods of decline coincided with global commodity shocks and domestic reforms. Compared with the Russian Federation (35.10) and Seychelles (34.21), Azerbaijan’s revenue level remains modest but shows a consistent post‑peak recovery. Continued investment in non‑oil sectors and improvements in tax administration are likely to sustain the gradual upward trend, provided external price volatility remains limited.
