Azerbaijan Advanced by 1% in Licensed Software
BSA Association, which published a report on the level of piracy in software by the end of 2015 (http://globalstudy.bsa.org/2016/downloads/studies/BSA_GSS_InBrief_US.pdf), believes that in Azerbaijan this figure for the two reported periods decreased by only 1% to 84%, despite the awareness of users about the high risk of cyber attacks.
Researchers have directly linked the trend to the financial capacity of the population - every user spent $ 103 on this in 2013, and $ 90 two years later.
For comparison: Armenia uses unlicensed software at 86% by spending $ 18, Georgia - 84% ($ 25), Russia - 64% ($ 1,341), and Kazakhstan - 73% ($ 89).
Globally, 39% of software installed on computers in 2015 turned out to be counterfeit. The difference in the level of piracy in the regions is affected by a number of factors - intellectual property protection, the availability of pirated software, and cultural differences, the researchers said. In addition, the level of piracy in each country is not uniform - it varies depending on the advancement of the country and the settlement.--17D-

Azerbaijan's financial standing continues to strengthen as the country's foreign currency reserves have surged to $71 billion as of January 1, 2025, according to the Ministry of Finance. This figure, which includes reserves held by the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) and the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), far exceeds the nation's external debt, which stands at a fraction of its reserves, specifically nearly 14 times less. This robust reserve position reflects Azerbaijan's fiscal stability and the government’s strategic economic management.
