The next, VI Azerbaijan International Insurance Forum (AIIF) will be held July 2-3 at the Fairmont Baku.
According to the Chairman of Azerbaijan Insurers Association (AIA) Orkhan Bayramov, registration has already been passed by more than 50 participants.
"It is planned to provide the active presence of more than 250 people in the traditional event. The format may not change. As in previous years, it will last for 2 days, including the cultural program. On the first day, the participants will discuss the creation of new regional insurance products during the crisis. Reinsurance and property insurance (including agricultural insurance) will also be the subject of discussions of the first day, and then the participants will switch to the traditional life insurance and car insurance. In addition, they will discuss still little demanded bank insurance and its prospects," he said. --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.
