Azerbaijan has used hydrocarbon revenues to modernise transport corridors, ports and energy infrastructure, positioning itself along the Middle Corridor linking Europe and Asia. Infrastructure investment supports export capacity and ambitions to diversify into logistics, manufacturing and renewables. State-led financing has driven much of this expansion, complemented by strategic partnerships. Reducing oil dependency and strengthening private sector participation remain key to sustainable development.
