Baku salaries on rise as Azerbaijan charts post-oil future

In an increasingly volatile global economy, the smallest signs of stability can signal larger shifts underway. In Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku, the rise in average wages this year offers a quiet but telling indicator of economic resilience and progress. According to the latest data released by the Baku City Statistics Department, the average monthly nominal salary of salaried workers in Baku reached 1,303.2 manats (approximately $769) during the first two months of 2025. This figure represents a 5.9% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
