Azerbaijan
This information comes from the assessment conducted in country for the Azerbaijan report, which was published in August 2002.
Even making allowance for the difficulties produced by war with Armenia, Azerbaijan has not moved as far beyond its Soviet legacy of command-and-control systems as other transition countries reviewed over the past few years. Much of the economic capacity of the country has been maintained under the control of the government or well-connected private sector interests, leaving the average investor (domestic or foreign) in precarious circumstances.
