BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 27. Azerbaijan's
non-oil and gas commodity exports amounted to $3.6 billion in 2025,
reaching the highest level in the history of independence as a
result of targeted measures to diversify the country's economy and
exports, an informed source told Trend.
According to information, the figure rose by 8.1% compared to
the previous year.
In 2025, gold worth $6.26 billion was imported as one of the
important elements of the country's strategic foreign exchange
reserves to further strengthen macroeconomic stability.
Gold imports aren't related to real consumption and economic
activity. Therefore, the imports aren't taken into account during
the analysis of import dynamics or import activity related to
domestic demand.
Excluding gold imports, the surplus of Azerbaijan's foreign
trade balance in 2025 was $6.9 million. The volume of imports
excluding gold imports was $18 million, marking an increase of 2.1%
compared to 2024.
