ADB Approves $400 Million to Support Azerbaijan's Rail Sector, Modernize North-South Railway Corridor

ADB's Board of Directors has approved two loans totaling $400 million to help strengthen Azerbaijan’s railway sector and modernize and rehabilitate the Sumgayit–Yalama rail line, a key link in the North–South Railway Corridor.

Azerbaijan’s gross national income per capita has increased approximately tenfold in a decade and a half. This robust growth has been largely driven by the extraction and processing of fossil fuels, along with high levels of public expenditure.
