“Since the beginning of this year, the value of Azerbaijan’s non-oil exports, compared to the same period last year, has grown by a record 40% and exceeded $2 billion. Naturally, the rise in prices for goods in the world market played a positive role in the growth. We want to support this trend. We expect that by the end of this year we will achieve non-oil exports in the amount of $2.6-2.7 billion. As part of the National Export Strategy, we plan to increase non-oil exports by 85% until 2026 compared to 2021, and bring it to $5 billion,” he said.
According to Abdullayev, the National Export Strategy also provides for the diversification of the export of non-oil products: “This process will cover a very wide range of markets.”
