BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 17. The Central Bank of
Azerbaijan is currently monitoring developments in the Middle East,
particularly regarding Iran, Samir Nasirov, director of the
Statistics Department at the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), said
at a briefing dedicated to the release of the balance of payments
for 2025, Trend
reports.
“The events began just over two weeks ago. Against this
backdrop, we are seeing a rise in various global commodity prices.
However, there are still questions about whether this is a
temporary or long-term phenomenon. Based on this, we are closely
monitoring developments to understand how this will affect the
current account balance (CAB). We are conducting an analysis, but
we do not yet have updated forecasts. If we do, we will share the
information at the next press conference,” he noted.
