The Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA) does not rule out conducting interventions in the currency market through sales in the coming months. "Over the past eight months, the CBA has fully satisfied the increased demand for foreign currency at currency auctions due to rising direct foreign currency expenditures (including servicing external state debt) and a reduction in obligations of local enterprises related to trade credits," the CBA stated. Throughout the rest of the year, interventions via currency sales are possible to support increased state expenditures directly in foreign currency (such as COP29 and other government expenses), the CBA added.
