On Thursday, April 25 in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic (NAR) completed a specialized cash auction, which sold a controlling stake in a plant for the production of glass containers. The Republican Centre informally recognized the right of the autonomy to organize the privatization as part of its "economic sovereignty."
In the NAR operates the local Office of the State Securities Committee. It carries out state registration of the securities issue. However, the information resource of SCS has no information about the registration of this issue, as well as other issues of securities in the NAR. Like most territorial ministries and departments, the Nakhchivan management of the SCS has no Internet site. So, what securities are legally entitled to appeal the autonomy is unknown.
Turan appealed to the leadership of the SCS with a written request for the activities of its sole territorial management. However, they did not respond to it.
In NAR, there is a branch of the National Depository Center. This structure does not reveal information on the securities market. Recently it became known that the two privatized companies (the hotel Tabriz and a plant for the production of industrial gases) informed their shareholders about the self-dismissal and the withdrawal of their securities from circulation.
The source of information on the implementation of privatization and the existence of the privatized enterprises in the NAR is authority of the Supreme Majlis of NAR, the newspaper Sherg Gapisi (Door to the East).
As published Sherg Gapisi, referring to the Ministry of Economic Development of the NAR, 21-25th April there was a special cash auction of 94,504 shares of Shushe Gablar. In February-March 2014 11 workers of the glass container plant were offered 15% of the shares of this stock. The results of the auction have not been reported. - 08B-

Azerbaijan’s economy, which is heavily dependent on oil revenues, faces a stark warning in the 2021 report by Carbon Tracker titled “Beyond the Oil States: The Urgent Need to Reduce Dependence on Oil in the Context of the Energy Transition.” The report ranks Azerbaijan among the most vulnerable oil-dependent countries, placing it in the "5th group" — a category reserved for nations expected to experience a decline in oil and gas revenues exceeding 40% over the next decade. This group includes Angola, Bahrain, Timor-Leste, Equatorial Guinea, Oman, and South Sudan, highlighting shared economic risks for these states.

In Azerbaijan, the government has increasingly relied on tax exemptions for imported goods as a tool to stabilize domestic market prices. The exemption from the 18% VAT on wheat imports, extended this year, exemplifies this approach. New measures have also been introduced, including tax relief on imports of electric vehicle chargers, while exemptions for high-cost medications are currently under discussion. Notably, defense imports continue to be free from taxes and customs duties.
