Azerbaijani banks, central bank buy almost $50M at auction
The State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) sold $41.4 million to seven banks through an auction held by the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), said SOFAZ May 19.
Meanwhile, CBA itself acquired $7 million at the auction.

SOFAZ was offering $50 million for sale through the auction.

SOFAZ will continue selling foreign currency through auctions in 2016.

The foreign currency is sold as part of SOFAZ`s transfers to the Azerbaijani state budget, which are envisaged to stand at 7.615 billion Azerbaijani manats in 2016.

SOFAZ was established in 1999 with assets of $271 million.

As of April 1, 2016, SOFAZ`s assets increased by two percent and amounted to $34.25 billion compared to early 2016 ($33.57 billion).
