Abstract

The 2025 Article IV Consultation discusses that following a slowdown in 2023, growth accelerated, and inflation picked up in Azerbaijan. The decline in oil and gas prices reduced the 2024 external surplus, but fiscal consolidation resumed. Looking ahead, growth is projected to moderate and inflation to remain within the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan target. Risks to the outlook remain broadly balanced but external uncertainty is high. Reduced hydrocarbon prices as a result of higher supply or lower demand could adversely affect growth, external position, and fiscal revenues. The government has outlined export diversification plans that leverages Azerbaijan’s geographic advantages. Reforms to enhance the role of the private sector should continue, including improving the performance of major state-owned enterprises and increasing the participation of the private sector, implementing the anti-corruption strategy, and deepening capital markets.
