CFI Expands Central Asia Presence in Azerbaijan
CFI, with a strong presence in the Middle East, has expanded into Central Asia by opening an office in Baku, Azerbaijan’s capital. The new office was established following the creation of a local entity, CFI Financial Investment Company (CFI Azerbaijan). This expansion follows the broker’s acquisition of AzFinance Investment Company last year, which was rebranded to align with its global brand.
According to the World Bank, Azerbaijan has a population of over 10.1 million, with a per capita income of $22,640. CFI sees this expansion as an opportunity to strengthen its presence in the region. Ilgar Rustambayl, formerly of Philip Morris International, The Coca-Cola Company, and MIG Bank, has been appointed CEO of the Azerbaijan unit.
