Revenues in the state budget for fiscal year 2004/2005, which projects a deficit of 10.1 billion dollars, are estimated at 11.25 billion dollars. Expenditures are projected at 21.35 billion dollars.

Oil revenues, calculated at a conservative price of 15 dollars a barrel, are estimated at 9.3 billion dollars and non-oil revenues at 1.95 billion dollars in the fiscal year, which runs from April 1 to March 31, 2005.
