Financial Inclusion, Financial Literacy, and Financial Education in Azerbaijan
This paper discusses the status of financial inclusion, education, and literacy in Azerbaijan as well as measures to foster the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, which currently have inadequate access to financial resources.
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 cross-cutting priorities mainstreamed in the strategic pillars of the country partnership strategy (CPS), 2019-2023 are: accelerating progress in gender equality; tackling climate change and enhancing environmental sustainability; fostering regional cooperation and integration; strengthening governance and institutional capacity; and promoting public-private partnerships.
Azerbaijan is a member of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program.
