This study investigates the broader economic and social implications of changes in net exports in Azerbaijan, focusing on three key sectors: oil, non-oil, and services. As Azerbaijan continues to pursue economic diversification and reduce its dependency on oil revenues, understanding the differential impacts of export growth across sectors becomes increasingly important. Using two widely recognized analytical frameworks—the Input-Output (IO) model and the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM)—this research provides a comparative evaluation of the multiplier effects associated with a one-million-manat increase in net exports from each sector.
These findings offer several policy insights. First, while oil exports continue to play a significant role in stimulating output, non-oil and services sectors deliver higher multipliers, particularly when social and income-related effects are considered. Second, export-led growth in these sectors can contribute more effectively to inclusive and sustainable development. Lastly, the analysis supports the prioritization of export-oriented policies in non-oil and service industries as a pathway to reduce vulnerability to external shocks and foster economic resilience.
