Situation with Lending in Banks in Azerbaijan

Currently, 21 out of the 33 Azerbaijani banks issue consumer loans. In comparison with August, there is no difference in the number of banks issuing loans to individuals.

Sixteen out of the 21 banks lend only in manats, while five banks lend in manats and US dollars. They are Azer-Turk Bank, Bank Avrasiya, Bank BTB, AFB Bank and Gunay Bank. The first three banks lent in USD in the previous month. The last two issue loans in foreign currency, beginning from this month. Dollar loans are meant for those who are not paid their salaries in manats.

The annual interest rate for loans to ordinary citizens is 16-36% in AZN and 14-36% in USD. In comparison with August there are no significant changes in the interest. In only one bank, Yapi Kredi Bank (Azerbaijan), loans have risen by 1-2%. Several banks have made changes to the high and low levels of interest rates. For example, Bank of Baku issued consumer loans at 24-29% per annum last month, but now the figure is 26-28%.

Nineteen banks give out business loans. In comparison with August, there were no changes in the number of banks that invest entrepreneurs.

Among the banks financing the projects of entrepreneurs, eight give loans only in manats, two (Khalg Bank and Turan Bank) give them only in dollars and nine give them in both currencies. The annual interest rate on loans is 14-28% in AZN and 14-27% in dollars.

Over the past month, several banks made changes in terms of interest.
