BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 23. The share of public
procurement in gross domestic product (GDP) in Azerbaijan reached
8.4% in 2025.
This was reported by the Chairman of the Chamber of Accounts of
Azerbaijan, Vugar Gulmammadov, in a joint interview with Trend News Agency and Public
Television.
According to him, last year, 19,000 public procurements worth
10.8 billion manat ($6.3 billion) were carried out in the
country.
"The share of public procurement in gross domestic product
increased by 0.6 percentage points to 8.4% in 2025. Public
procurement is the main financial and legal tool for determining
the needs of the state and meeting these needs through public
spending. The quality of procurement has a significant impact on
both the country's economic development and fiscal sustainability,"
he said.
Gulmammadov noted that in international practice, the share of
public procurement in GDP varies between 13-20%, and its share in
state budget expenditures varies between 30-50%.
He also noted that since the existing reports do not reflect the
purchases made by state enterprises at their own expense and by
some institutions, the indicators just partly reflect the actual
situation.
