Azerbaijan Investment Holding, Silk Road Fund launch USD 1 billion Joint Investment Fund
Baku, September 30, AZERTAC
As part of the 2nd Azerbaijan International Investment Forum, Azerbaijan Investment Holding (AIH) announced the establishment of a Joint Investment Fund with China’s Silk Road Fund (SRF).
According to Azerbaijan Investment Holding, the fund, which has a total capital of 7.5 billion Chinese yuan (approximately 1 billion US dollars), will finance investment projects in Azerbaijan, as well as in other countries participating in China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
The fund will provide a framework for AIH and SRF to jointly consider investment opportunities and finance prospective projects. This new mechanism will create additional opportunities for expanding investment cooperation between the parties and attracting long-term capital to a range of projects.
The establishment of the Joint Investment Fund follows the framework agreement signed between AIH and SRF in April 2025. Within the framework of the cooperation established under the agreement, the parties subsequently continued their work toward the establishment of the fund, holding discussions on potential investment areas, its structure, and its operating principles.
The establishment of the fund represents an important step toward further deepening investment cooperation between Azerbaijan and China. AIH and SRF plan to continue their cooperation through the fund to identify and finance projects of mutual interest.
