Crude oil export increased a little bit, oil products export significantly declined
According to the State Customs Committee, from January to October 2013 89.6% of Azerbaijan’s export fell to oil and oil products.
The Committee reported that during this period 84.66% of Azerbaijan’s entire export fell to crude oil and 4.93% to oil products.
Oil export increased by 0.93%, while oil products export decreased by 7.05% against the same period last year.
Reduction of oil products export is connected with the fact that demand in automobile fuel increased by almost 10% at the local market.
In 2012 export of Azerbaijan oil and oil products constituted 90.16%. Last year 84.63% of Azerbaijan’s entire export fell to crude oil and 5.53% to oil products.—0—

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.
