Fitch Includes Azerbaijan in List of Leaders That Received Benefits from Oil Boom
Fitch Ratings International Agency published a report on countries that gained the most from rising prices for raw materials in 2003-13 respectively. Azerbaijan was in the list of leaders, along with Bolivia and Peru. At the bottom of the table were Bahrain, Gabon, Venezuela and Suriname.
According to Fitch, centralized expenditures in developing countries, whose economies are based on exports of raw materials, rose by 5% of GDP since the mid-2000s with a sharp reduction of income from hydrocarbon exports.
The agency analysts believe that the total fiscal revenue in developing countries exporting raw materials at the end of this year will be reduced by $ 1.3 trillion compared to 2013. --17D-
