Azerbaijan open to all investments in spirit of friendship and support, official says

BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 22.​ Every
investment in our country will be welcomed in a climate of
friendship and support, said Samir Sharifov, Deputy Prime Minister
of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Trend reports.

Speaking at the 1st Azerbaijan International Investment Forum in
Baku, Sharifov noted that the current global landscape is marked by
serious challenges, including rising geopolitical tensions,
processes that in some cases escalate into military conflicts and
confrontations, climate change, various crises, and increasing
public debt in both developing and leading countries.

“In this context, Azerbaijan has begun to play a reliable
connecting role between different geographic markets,” he

The official also stressed that the government, under President
Ilham Aliyev’s leadership, has established the essential
infrastructure to attract and facilitate investment flows.

“Political stability remains one of the most critical factors
for attracting investment, alongside a strong financial foundation,
economic resilience, and a favorable business environment. Recent
assessments underscore Azerbaijan’s progress on all fronts. The
country’s position has improved in World Bank evaluations of the
business climate and in reports from leading international credit
rating agencies. Most recently, S&P and Fitch upgraded
Azerbaijan’s credit rating to investment grade, while Moody’s
provided its rating voluntarily, signaling the nation’s growing
appeal to investors.

Under President Ilham Aliyev’s leadership, the Azerbaijani
government has also made significant investments in transport
infrastructure, including seaports, railways, expanded highways,
and airports. At the same time, the country is pursuing a broad
digital transformation, creating essential foundations to further
attract domestic and foreign investment.

Every investment in our country will be welcomed in a climate of
friendship and support. Overall, Azerbaijan will continue to serve
as a ‘bridge’ and I invite everyone to become part of this bridge
leading to the future. Let us build this future together,” Sharifov
