    BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 22. Azerbaijan’s
    economic growth is expected to moderate over the next two years,
    according to the latest forecast from the International Monetary
    Fund (IMF), Trend
    reports.

    As such, the country’s real GDP is projected to grow by 3.5
    percent in 2025, followed by a further slowdown to 2.5 percent in
    2026. This comes after an estimated growth rate of 4.1 percent in
