Tax revenues rose from 78 billion soms to 304.3 billion soms, while customs revenues increased almost sixfold—from 28.9 billion to 157.4 billion soms.

Of this amount, approximately $1 billion 176 million (about 100.6 billion soms) came to the budget in the form of taxes and other payments, while about $441 million (approximately 38.2 billion soms) was received in the form of dividends.
The head of the cabinet noted that as revenues increase, expenses also grow proportionally, creating opportunities for the implementation of large infrastructure projects, such as the construction of roads and housing under mortgage.
