Azerbaijan Central Bank reserves up in April

Azerbaijan’s Central Bank reserves grew 19 percent in April year-on-year, according to data on the bank’s website.

The reserves expanded to $14.9 billion as of April 30 from $12.5 billion a year earlier, the data show.

The Central Bank last month cut the refinancing rate to 4.25 percent from 4.75 percent to stimulate growth in areas outside oil and natural gas.
