As a yearly tradition, President Ilham Aliyev gives his interview to local TV channels. As we step into a new year, we can say that a new economic geometry is emerging in Azerbaijan. Energy, transit and industry are being folded into a single strategic axis, by design, not accident. The aim is to outgrow hydrocarbons without forfeiting energy primacy, to turn geography into bargaining power, and to fuse green electricity with industrial heft through a recalibrated partnership with China. Renewables, manufacturing localisation, and the Middle Corridor are no longer adjacent policies; they are mutually reinforcing parts of a single development model.
