The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the development of the financial and banking sector of the country. The author believes that the reforms carried out over the past three years have given new breath to this sector.

A state registry of movable property has been created in the country to lower interest rates and create a healthier credit ecosystem. This makes it possible for non-real estate entrepreneurs to obtain loans secured by available funds in circulation.
Over the past 3 years, the share of deposits in banking resources has increased, which indicates a high dependence of banks on deposits.
