flag Azerbaijan's oil fund grew to $18.1B by Sept. 2025, but faces 12.7% revenue drop in 2026 due to low oil prices and disrupted transit routes.

flag Azerbaijan's State Oil Fund (SOFAZ) saw its equity portfolio grow to $18.1 billion by September 2025, driven by strong investment returns and strategic asset management. flag However, SOFAZ projects a 12.7% revenue decline in 2026 due to lower oil prices and production, with net inflows expected at $5.03 billion. flag Transit revenues are nearly zero due to disrupted routes from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. flag The central bank forecasts 2026 inflation within its 4%±2% target, while the fund remains highly sensitive to oil prices—each $1 change affects revenues by $100 million. flag Despite lower revenues, a projected budget surplus is expected due to steeper spending cuts.
