Details
- Abstract / Summary
- Azerbaijan's economy has been hit by a series of negative shocks - particularly a marked drop in oil prices, significant growth slowdown and currency depreciations in trading-partner countries. Limited financial sector development also weighs on domestic access to finance. Azerbaijan's challenges with legal risks - underscored by high levels of corruption in all spheres of public life, and cumbersome legislation in certain industries - limit foreign involvement and poses major risks for investors. On the upside, the government offers generous tax breaks in technology sectors and, at least on paper, welcomes foreign investment, viewing it as a tool for economic development. Moreover, a number of infrastructure and institutional development projects are in progress, and we expect to see pay-off in the coming years.
