The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is calling on the Azerbaijani government to step up efforts to attract private investment, reduce fiscal risks, and implement reforms in three strategic areas: state-owned enterprise governance, anti-corruption policy, and financial sector development.

While acknowledging progress in simplifying business and licensing procedures, the IMF stressed the importance of deeper structural changes to sustain momentum.
