Baku / 27.09.17 / Turan: The State Committee for Property Issues (SCPI) has completed the assessment and transformation of three non-core enterprises, which were previously part of the structure of Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company, into a separate legal entity.
As the Ministry of Taxes reported on September 27, the issue of creating limited liability companies based on the seaside Yacht Club, the Central Seamen"s Hospital and the Seamen"s Polyclinic, was decided on June 23 this year. The authorized capital of Yacht Club LLC was determined in the amount of 3,269,600 manat, Merkezi Denizchiler Khestekhanasi LLC (Central Seamen"s Hospital) - 1,832,200 manat and Denizchiler Poliklinikasi LLC (Seamen"s Polyclinic) - 1,022,400 manat.

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.
