Azerbaijan has seen substantial growth in both its monetary base and the currency reserves held by the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), Azernews reports.

As of September 1, the monetary base in Azerbaijan stood at 20.55 billion manats ($12.08 billion). Although this marks a slight decline of 0.9% from August 1, the monetary base has grown by 13.4% year-on-year. However, compared to the beginning of the year, there has been a 1.6% decrease, as reported by the CBA.
