According to the World Bank, Azerbaijan’s economy recently grew by 2.2 percent, its best performance since 2014. Given the recent increase in private consumption, the poverty rate is estimated to have fallen in 2019. Inflation remained low in 2020. Azerbaijan’s vast oil reserves attract foreign investment into the country’s economy, reveals a 2021 EY Report; however, owing to the rapid development of the non-oil sector, the share of oil and gas investments in total foreign direct investments has gradually decreased compared with earlier years. Azerbaijan’s business environment score improves moderately, but the country remains at the bottom of the regional ranking, as the pace of reform is slower than in other east European countries. In 2020, Azerbaijan was ranking #34 in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index (Sources: Bloomberg, World Bank and EY).
