Kazimov noted that this trend is driving efforts to develop a legal framework for regulating digital assets in Azerbaijan.
Highlighting recent financial sector reforms, he stated, "Over the past three years, we have made significant progress, especially in regulatory changes related to anti-money laundering (AML) and compliance. We are trying to maintain a balance between stimulating the financial market and complying with international requirements. As a result of these reforms, the correspondent network of Azerbaijani banks, especially in the United States, has expanded significantly."
