In the first 4 months of the current year, the Central Bank's foreign exchange reserves increased by 10.2% to 12.7 billion US dollars.
Modern.az reports this with reference to the Central Bank.
During this period, external sector indicators remain favorable. According to customs statistics, in the first quarter of 2026, a positive balance of 1.4 billion US dollars was recorded in the country's foreign trade, which is 93.3% higher than the indicator for the corresponding period last year. The Central Bank's forecast for the current account surplus at the end of 2026 and 2027 has been updated in the direction of improvement.
This is due to the recent rise in prices for major export products, as well as the continued expansion of non-oil exports.
