The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has predicted the decline of the Azerbaijani economy by 2.5% in 2016, according to an updated review of the Asian Development Outlook 2016.
The ADB earlier forecast economic decline of 1%.
In 2017, ADB forecasts economic growth by 1%.
ADB predicts inflation in Azerbaijan by 12% in 2016 and 5.2% in 2017.
ADB noted that the economies of energy exporters such as Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan will remain under pressure due to low oil and gas prices. In 2017, the ADB expects increased demand and therefore prices for natural resources. ------71D

The outcome of the 44-day Second Karabakh War in 2020 has significantly reshaped the ranking of foreign direct investment (FDI) into Azerbaijan's economy, economist Gubad Ibadoglu said in an article. Recent data show a notable rise in investments from Russia, Turkey, and China, particularly targeting the liberated territories. However, Western investments have remained limited, as barriers such as monopolies, a lack of judicial independence, and the government's classification of states as "friendly" or "unfriendly" have dampened interest.
