Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
We were deeply saddened to receive the news of the passing of His Holiness …

While the language of economics is often composed of dry figures, interest rates, and complex terminology, behind these statistics sometimes lies a grand narrative that alters the fate of a nation. The latest balance of payments figures for 2025 released by the Central Bank of Azerbaijan are a manifesto of exactly such a story—the transition of Azerbaijan from an “oil exporter” status to that of a “global investor.” For years, we discussed how the “black gold” flowing through pipelines filled our budget; however, we are now witnessing an entirely new and more intellectual phase: Azerbaijan’s foreign capital has begun to work on our behalf.
