Today Azerbaijan is one of the most attractive destinations for FDIs in the region. Since mid 90th we have doubled our economic potential, enabled and sustained macroeconomic stability and undertook a wide range of economic and regulatory reforms ensuring sustainable business and investment environment. Consequently, the World Bank Doing Business Report 2009 named Azerbaijan the world's leading reformer of business regulations and recorded the biggest jump ever in the world ranking of ease of doing business (from 97th position to 33rd). Azerbaijan has made a significant step forward in human development and was recognised as high human development country by the UNDP Human Development Report 2010. Our economy is the 55th competitive economy in the world according to the Global Competitiveness Report 2011-2012 by World Economic Forum taking lead in CIS.
Azerbaijan is a country of wide investment opportunities and one of the most attractive destinations for foreign direct investments (FDI) in the region. Within last 15 years 96 bln USD were invested in our economy, of which more than a half by foreign investors. We believe there are a few major positive factors behind our success in attracting FDI. Years of political stability and economic development together with the traditional Azerbaijani hospitality, as well as presence of abundant resources and favorable location on the crossroads of Eurasia with the best infrastructure in the region play important role for the decision of foreign business.
