EU Business Climate Report Azerbaijan 2019

© AHK Azerbaijan

The EU Business Climate Report is shaped by the findings of an annual business climate survey reflecting the views of EU companies operating in Azerbaijan on the current economic situation, as well as the business and investment climate in the country. This year’s survey was conducted (in January-February 2019) among EU companies operating in Azerbaijan for the 4th consecutive year by the German-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce (AHK Azerbaijan), with financial and technical support from the Delegation of the European Union to Azerbaijan.

The primary aim of the survey is to provide insights into the current macroeconomic situation and business and investment climate in Azerbaijan as perceived by EU businesses. It also reveals EU companies’ expectations of short-term growth, the challenges they face and problems that remain to be tackled. The annual research highlights economic trends in the country by displaying year-on-year changes in key business indicators and factors relating to investment. The data acquired contributes significantly to this assessment of the current situation in the country, identifying the main factors impeding business operations or expansion and suggesting ways to mitigate or manage them effectively.

We express our cordial thanks to the representatives of EU businesses who gave us their valuable time by participating in our survey and sharing their views with us in interviews and focus group discussions.
