Foreign direct investment in Azerbaijan’s non-oil sector increased by 6.1% in 2025, reaching $1 billion 441 million, Samir Nasirov, Director of the Statistics Department of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), said, APA-Economics reports.
He noted that the portfolio investment item is in deficit, but this deficit is related to the increase in the assets part of the country’s portfolio.
State and private enterprises operating in the country, oil and gas sector companies, banks and investment firms have invested large volumes of portfolio investments abroad. Investments were mainly made in US government debt securities (US Treasuries). Such a significant increase in portfolio investments will contribute to the growth of the surplus in the primary income account of the current account balance in the coming periods. There are almost no changes on the liabilities side.
