DUSHANBE, January 26, Asia-Plus -- Deputy Finance Minister Shavkat Sohibov told journalists yesterday that the revenue part of the 2006 national budget amounted to 1.6577 billion somonis or 106.5 percent of the revised annual target.  

“It is 102 million somonis or 27 percent more compared to 2005,” Sohibov said.  

Reviewing the execution of last year’s budget, Sohibov also noted that the expenditure part of the budget amounted to 1.619 billion somonis or 100 percent of the annual target.  

According to him, funds earmarked for defense, public management organizations, social security of the population, communal-housing economy and cultural events were spent completely.  .  

Meanwhile, financing of education, health, fuel-energy and transportation sectors did not reach 100 percent last year.  

According to him, non-fulfillment of the target on financing of these sectors resulted from delays in the implementation of investment projects in these sectors and saving of the budgetary funds.
