The International Bank of Azerbaijan is a global financial institution serving consumers, pensioners, small businesses, multi-national corporations and investors. The bank enjoys a unique position in the history of its nation: the institution has played a key role in bringing the country of Azerbaijan, a “new” country with an ancient heritage and culture, into the 21st century’s global economy. ==Bank History== One hundred years ago, Azerbaijan was a global economic power, producing more than half of the world's oil. Nearly a century of Soviet oppression, ending with the fall of the Soviet Union, damaged the country's economic capacity. Like many former Soviet republics, the country faced an extremely difficult task in securing its own governance and building an economy after gaining independence in 1991. IBA's beginnings and its growth since that time have been anchored alongside the growth and rebuilding of the country, its administration and a capitalistic economy. The bank is the same age as the current independent country of Azerbaijan (both began in 1992). After the Soviet Union dissolved, Azerbaijan's society transformed into a free-market, democratic state. Although heavily controlled and 50% owned by the country's government, the bank was able to accomplish what no other large company in Azerbaijan could: expand and connect its people and money to the larger world and partner with the some of the most successful, admired, global financial brands: American Express, MasterCard, and Visa. The bank’s growth in the period 2001-2013 has been notable. Assets have increased from 1.93 billion AZN to 7.681 billion AZN ($9.8 billion US), an increase of 397%, paralleling, but slightly better than Azerbaijan’s GDP growth of 374% (both in constant manats) over the same period. The bank’s net income increased to 126.9 million AZN last year, a 235% growth rate. All this reinforces the International Bank of Azerbaijan’s position as a fiscal foundation and one of the leading economic engines of its country. Additionally, IBA is helping connect the country's people and businesses with those from other nations, including the United States. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Bank of Azerbaijan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
