The "Modern.az" website discusses why the external debt of Azerbaijan is growing. The reasons are explained by expert Gadir Ibrahimli. For April 1 of the current year, the debt was 9 billion 643 million dollars or 16 billion 393 million manats.
The expert asserts that, in relation to the volume of GDP produced in the country, external debt is not so great and there is no cause for concern. There are two reasons for the growth of debt. First, the state assumed the debts of Interbank, the second - the financing of the project "Southern Gas Corridor".
