Baku:Azerbaijan Investment Holding (AIH) has announced the creation of a Joint Investment Fund with China’s Silk Road Fund (SRF) during the 2nd Azerbaijan International Investment Forum.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the fund is capitalized at 7.5 billion Chinese yuan, approximately 1 billion US dollars. It aims to finance investment projects within Azerbaijan and other countries involved in China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
This fund provides a collaborative framework for AIH and SRF to explore and finance potential investment opportunities. It is expected to enhance investment cooperation between the two parties and attract long-term capital to various projects.
The fund’s establishment is the result of a framework agreement signed by AIH and SRF in April 2025. The parties have since engaged in discussions concerning potential investment areas, the fund’s structure, and its operating principles.
This initiative represents a significant advancement in the investment partnership between Azerbaijan and China. AIH and SRF intend to continue their collaboration through the fund to identify and finance projects of shared interest.
