Azerbaijan, with a population of around 10.37 million people, has a GDP of approximately 78.87 billion making it the 85th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Azerbaijan is the Azerbaijani Manat (AZN)
The economy is heavily reliant on oil and natural gas exports, which constitute a significant portion of its GDP. It has strong economic ties with Turkey, Russia, and the European Union, particularly Italy, for its energy exports.
Credit and debit cards are an increasingly popular payment method in urban areas like Baku, especially for retail purchases. A unique feature of Azerbaijan's payment landscape is MilliÖN, a widespread network of self-service terminals that allow citizens to conveniently pay bills, fines, and top up various accounts. Nevertheless, physical cash in the form of the Manat remains the dominant payment method for the majority of daily transactions across the country.
