The Central Bank of Azerbaijan (AMB) expects inflation to reach 6.1% at the end of 2026 and 5.8% at the end of 2027, according to its baseline scenario. Report.az reports that AMB Chairman Taleh Kazımov shared the figures in an interview with Global Finance magazine.

Kazımov said the main goal is to ensure price stability. He acknowledged that upward risks exist on the supply side, but said both indicators remain within the established corridor.

He said the central task is not to change the target, but to increase and deepen the impact of interest rate transmission. Exchange rate stability will remain the main anchor, while interbank rates will serve as a supporting anchor for domestic inflation.
