Azerbaijan: A Cradle of Humanity Embraces Modernity
ADB operations in Azerbaijan are closely aligned with the government's priorities, including diversifying the economy beyond the oil sector. It is focused on promoting inclusive economic growth and regional cooperation efforts.
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.
The ADB country partnership strategy, 2014–2018 for Azerbaijan aims to diversify the economy, foster new economic opportunities, promote inclusive growth, and reduce disparities between urban and rural areas.
Azerbaijan is a member of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program.
