Azerbaijan has introduced new legal mechanisms regulating the circulation of precious metals and gemstones, tightening control over the import and export of rough diamonds.

The resolution, signed by Prime Minister Ali Asadov, prolongs restrictions introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic and repeatedly extended since 2020.
