Dollar Rises in price on Foreign Exchange Auction
On the foreign exchange auction of the Central Bank the dollar rose again today. The auction began with a rate AZN 1.7146 and ended at 1.7196 manat per US dollar.
It should be noted that the growth of the US currency takes place against the background of dollar shortage. Most banks have stopped the sale of currency, which contributes to the prosperity of the "black market", where the dollar is bought for AZN 1.80 and sold for AZN 1.81. -71D-

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.
