The Board of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA) considered the outcome of 2015 at the enlarged meeting and assessed 2015 as successful despite the twofold devaluation of the manat.
According to the CBA, CBA Chairman Elman Rustamov assessed 2015 as positive.
The assets of banks at the end of 2015 amounted to 35 billion manats, credit investments in the economy of the country - 21 billion manats, 75 percent of which fall to the share of business loans.
CBA also stressed a 13 percent increase in the number of transactions in the national payment system. The turnover exceeded the volume of GDP by 2.4 times.
CBA has reduced the amount of the capital adequacy ratio from 12 to 10 percent and the capital adequacy ratio of the Tier I banks - from 6 to 5 percent since December 29, 2015.
This is envisaged by the changes in the "Bank capital settlement rules and its adequacy".
The CBA also reduced the level of "leverage" (a tool connecting the growth of assets to the growth of the capital) from 6 to 5 percent.
The CBA has restored the "leverage" norm since February 2011 [which was canceled in 2003]. Along with the balance sheet assets, off-balance sheet assets were included in the settlement procedure. The requirement was set at 8 percent [compared to 6 percent before the cancellation] as the "leverage" norm was intended to limit the banks' strong growth. While introducing the "leverage" norm, the CBA's main objective is to ensure the management of capital, liquidity and credit risks at a safe level.
"This tool allows controlling the steady growth at a good capital base, growing on a sound base, controlling the level of capital, achieving a good correlation of assets and capital growth," CBA Director General Rashad Orujov told Trend earlier. "This is very important. This is a very effective tool. It is beneficial as the asset growth is supported by good capitalization. "
The foreign exchange (FX) reserves of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA) fell by $1.23 billion (19.68 percent) to $5,016.7 million in December 2015 as compared to November.
CBA's foreign exchange reserves have declined by $8,741.6 million (63.5 percent) since early 2015.
The foreign exchange reserves of the CBA have been declining since July 2014.
Earlier, the decline of the foreign exchange reserves was going on slowly (around $20-50 million). But their volume started to sharply reduce in December 2014, due to an increase in demand for dollar supply in the country.
However, the growth of foreign exchange reserves resumed in May-June 2015. In May, the Central Bank's forex reserves rose by $42.9 million (0.51 percent) compared to April, up to $8.43 billion, and by $89.4 million (1.06 percent) in June.
But, after slight growth, the reduction of foreign exchange reserves of the CBA continued.
So, the reserves declined by $ 18.7 million in July, by $1.19 billion in August, $300.7 million in September, $180.1 million in October and $589 million in November.
The foreign exchange reserves reduced due to the intervention carried out by the CBA on the foreign exchange market to keep the exchange rate of manat versus the US dollar at a stable level
Currency market and manat rate
Azerbaijan has experienced the process of devaluation of the manat twice in 2015. For the first time, CBA has refused from pegging the exchange rate of the manat to the US dollar and passed to the mechanism of the dual-currency basket that includes the dollar and euro since February 16, 2015. CBA devaluated the manat February 21. On this day, the rate of manat reduced by almost 34 percent up to 1.05 manat per dollar.
The sharp decline in oil prices in July once again increased the pressure on the exchange rate of manat and foreign exchange market. At the same time, the continuing devaluation in neighboring countries had a negative impact on the competitiveness of the national economy in the international arena. There is a need to bring the foreign exchange market and exchange rate of manat in line with oil prices in connection with the emerging conditions.
And, therefore, for the second time CBA has passed to a floating exchange rate of manat since December 21, 2015. The official exchange rate of the US dollar and the euro against the Azerbaijani manat was set at 1.5500 and 1.6850 manat respectively as of December 21. In particular, the exchange rate of the US dollar and the euro against the manat increased by 47.6 percent and 47.9 percent.
This decision was taken taking into account strengthening of the long-term shocks in the foreign economy to counterpoise the balance of payments, preserve the foreign exchange reserves in the country at a critical level and ensure competitiveness of the national economy in the international arena.
Thus, according to the CBA's decision, the manat exchange rate will be formed in accordance with the fundamental factors that determine the supply and demand on the foreign exchange market.
