19:03 - 12.06.2026


June 12, Fineko/abc.az. The Central Bank of Azerbaijan has mapped out the asset diversification portfolio and currency tranche breakdown of its institutional sovereign reserves.

According to ABC.AZ, the capital architecture was managed via a dual-tranche blueprint: an operational tranche allocated for monetary policy support, and an investment tranche structured to boost risk-adjusted returns.

By the end of the reporting window, the currency allocation of the gross official reserves settled as follows:

  • US Dollar (USD): 93%;

  • SDR (IMF's Special Drawing Rights): 6%;

  • Chinese Yuan (CNY) & Qatari Riyal (QAR): 1% combined.

To maintain credit safety parameters, the capital was exclusively parked in sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt instruments backed by solid investment-grade credit ratings.
