Azerbaijan: Net primary income (net income from abroad) (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Azerbaijan's net primary income (net income from abroad) (current US$) rose US$582.05 million on 2024 (from −US$2.57 billion to −US$1.99 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −US$85.65 million and a typical year strayed about US$1.21 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$2.24 billion in 2023 and the biggest yearly fall was US$4.15 billion in 2022. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 7% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Property and entrepreneurial income covers investment income from the ownership of foreign financial claims (interest, dividends, rent, etc.) and nonfinancial property income (patents, copyrights, etc.).
