This study analyzes a potential impact of the BRI on Azerbaijan’s economy by focusing on (1) Azerbaijan’s connectivity and trade with the BRI economies; (2) its recent improvements in transport, power, and ICT infrastructure as part of the China, Central Asia, West Asia economic corridor; (3) its remaining connectivity gaps and challenges; and (4) potential economic effects of BRI on Azerbaijan’s trade, foreign investment, growth and welfare. Finally, the study concludes with policy implications that would mitigate the BRI risks and maximize the benefits. 2020-08-11T18:40:22Z 2020-08-11T18:40:22Z 2020-06 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/351671594668599927/South-Caucasus-and-Central-Asia-The-Belt-and-Road-Initiative-Azerbaijan-Country-Case-Study http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34329 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Infrastructure Study Europe and Central Asia Azerbaijan
