Domestic capital leads diversification as foreign funds focus on energy
It is clear that investments were mainly allocated to the oil and gas sector. Thus, 374.5 million manats of investments in fixed capital from foreign sources covered this sector. However, an increase was also observed in the non-oil and gas sector compared to the previous year, though the figure, 27.4 million manats, remains significantly less. The contrast is striking: while oil and gas investments rose by 80.2 percent compared to January 2025, non-oil investments fell by 75.3 percent.
