The Central Bank of Azerbaijan has lowered its key refinancing rate from 7.25% to 7.0%, effective 24 July 2025.

This rate affects interest deduction limits on loans from abroad or related parties, which are capped at 125% of either the average inter-bank auction rate or the central bank rate if no auction is held.
