Speaking at a panel discussion during Baku Climate Action Week 2025 (BCAW2025), held from September 30 through October 3, Naghiyev highlighted the impact of COP29 on Azerbaijan’s financial sector and emphasized the role of banks in advancing sustainability. “After COP29, as PASHA Bank, we are aligning our portfolio with environmental and social criteria, supporting sustainable financing projects, and prioritizing the involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the green transition. We believe that real impact is only possible when the entire financial sector embraces sustainability as a priority,” Naghiyev stated. Nagiyev underlined the importance of improving the legislative framework for the development of the green finance market and strengthening international partnerships. PASHA Bank joined the United Nations Global Compact in 2023.
