Azerbaijan's external public debt stood at $4,689.3 million as of April 1 of this year, reflecting a strategic reduction in the country's international financial liabilities.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports this with reference to the State Statistical Committee of Azerbaijan. According to official data, this figure represents a 7.5% decrease compared to the same period in 2025.
The reduction in foreign debt aligns with the long-term economic strategy of the Republic of Azerbaijan to minimize external financial dependence and optimize the debt-to-GDP ratio. By prioritizing the use of internal resources and maintaining a robust sovereign wealth fund, the government continues to strengthen the national fiscal position. This downward trend in external borrowing is a key component of the country's broader financial stability framework, aimed at ensuring sustainable economic growth and resilience against global market fluctuations.
