Investments in the oil sector accounted for 34.4% of all investments in the country’s economy, according to figures from the State Statistics Committee.
During the reporting period, investments in the non-oil sector were AZN 706.6m ($880.07m), a fall of 10.9% compared to last year.
Investment in the non-oil sector increased as a result of the start of work on the Chiraq Oil project to build an additional platform at the Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli offshore field.
