But the facts tell a different story. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) forecasts average annual inflation in Azerbaijan at the level of 10.2% by the end 2016. The Bank also notes the need for deeper structural reforms to improve the business environment in non-oil sector of Azerbaijan.
