March 5, Fineko/abc.az. New grounds for withdrawal of investments by the State have been approved in Azerbaijan.

ABC.AZ informs that President Ilham Aliyev endorsed an amendment to the Law on Investment Activities in this regard.

The amendment defines a new basis for receiving investments by the state.

The amendments stipulate additional grounds for withdrawal of investments in exceptional cases when strategically significant investments harm the interests of the Azerbaijani people or contradict the national interests of the country.

The withdrawal of such investments will be carried out on a general basis with the payment of compensation to investors and exclusively within the legislation of Azerbaijan.

The draft law is aimed at protecting national interests and creating a legal framework to respond to potential risks in strategically important investment areas.
