Bank says the economic growth will make up 1.6% in 2018.

“According to results of the four months of 2017, there is a 1.2% lag in economy. Therefore, we change our forecast that the GDP will decline 1% this year (previous forecast was 1% growth)”, bank said.

The bank’s analysts say that 2.5-5% decline in oil and gas production will slow the economic growth in 2017. Share of oil sector in GDP is 42%.

Azerbaijani government forecasts 1% rise in 2017’s GDP.
