For July 15, Azerbaijan once again is behind in the "league table" (118th position against the 114th.) In this respect an acceptable average speed is maintained at the expense of Baku, despite a drop from 4.26 Mbit/s up to 4.18 Mbit/s. For comparison, the average traffic in the world is 13.79 Mbit / s.
The nearest in the table are Bahrain (line above) and Paraguay (line below.) Gabon, Mauritania, Uganda and Brunei are also higher in rank.
According to the official portal of Ookla (http://www.netindex.com/download/2, 110/Azerbaijan), this is due to the fact that the speed of the Internet on them is low." For comparison, in Russia (26th position), the average is 18.72, in Georgia - 12.96 (48th position), Armenia (62th position) - 9.64 Mb/s with a solid quality improvement.
Local Internet quality index is far from the site described by 48 positions (a month before it was 58.)
The indicator on the center of the capital on the incoming traffic is 4.53 Mbit / s. On the periphery of Baku speed is 3.26 Mbit / s, Sumgayit 2.70 to 2.95 Mbit / s. Earlier on the map there was data on Jaloilabad, Sheki, Goychay, and even through the village Masazir; currently they are not on the map of virtual services.
For the experiment were selected 349,504 of more than 2,507,000 existing unique IP-addresses. The study was conducted on the basis of statistics of 20 local Internet service providers and telecom operators, mainly in Baku.
Among them, in the first place is CityNet c 45,35 Mbits / s; then come AZERTELECOM with 10.17 Mbit/s and UNINET with 10.11 Mbit/s. All of them provide services throughout the country, in Baku speed of incoming traffic is much higher; and the table complete MEQA-TELEKOM LTD from 3.08 Mbit/s and Azeronline Information Services from 2.98 Mbit/s.
Previously, incoming traffic of half of the top 20 providers was below $ 2 megabits. -17D-

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.
