correspondent reports from the event.
The platform will track monthly business needs, identify
existing barriers, and pinpoint new opportunities to expand
economic cooperation between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan.
The head of the CPR, Mirshokhid Aslanov, is participating in the
presentation; he is currently visiting Azerbaijan to foster expert
and practical cooperation between the two nations.
The business barometer will be updated monthly based on
interviews with companies, surveys of business representatives, and
the analysis of relevant data.
The primary focus will be on practical issues companies face
when entering the Azerbaijani and Uzbek markets, including
export-import procedures, customs clearance, tariff preferences,
documentation and certification requirements, as well as technical
and sanitary standards.
A specific area of monitoring will focus on the Middle
Corridor and its role in expanding trade and economic ties between
Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. The initiative plans to analyze
transport infrastructure, logistics capabilities, new routes, and
the prospects for their utilization by the business community.
Based on the monthly monitoring results, CASPIA and CPR intend
to develop concrete recommendations for business representatives
and government institutions in both countries.
The initiative aims to establish a permanent mechanism for
information exchange between the business communities of Azerbaijan
and Uzbekistan, while fostering the development of new
partnerships, investment projects, and trade and logistics
opportunities.
