Officials cheat Commission on the Public Service
The Commissioner of the Public Service under the President of Azerbaijan is for the change of attitude to fill vacancies and to "reserve civil servants."
As Bakhram Khalilov lamented, addressing reporters today, some public bodies do not transmit the complete data on vacancies, which allows them to withhold information or to hire contractors in violation of the law.
According to him, the Commission cooperates with about 200 state agencies. From this year on there is a new software registry of civil servants, which allows obtaining information about vacancies, and about whether state authorities provide information on vacancies. According to local law, the commission on public service should be informed of all vacancies.
Khalilov noted that the Commission has already made the appointment of 300-400 people from the reserve. The competition is sometimes up to 7 people for a position, he said. - 17D-

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. This robust reserve position reflects Azerbaijan's fiscal stability and the government’s strategic economic management.
