(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) ** BAKU, Azerbaijan, Feb. 25.** Capitalization of Azerbaijani banks will remain strong, says Moody’s, Trend reports.

“The Azerbaijani banks we rate have robust capital buffers, with TCE equal to a weighted average of 20% of RWA as of year-end 2024. The introduction of a 0.5% countercyclical buffer on banks operating in Azerbaijan starting 1 March 2025 has improved capital further. We expect robust internal capital generation will continue to support the banks’ capitalization,” reads the report.
