Lesson
Insufficient up-to-date macroeconomic data on government websites, which could hinder timely and effective planning especially during crisis periods, needs to be rectified.

International organizations such as ADB, the IMF and the World Bank release forecasts of macroeconomic indicators for upcoming years, and SSC should consider following the same approach.

Accessibility of healthcare data in Azerbaijan needs to be improved. Reports from the Ministry of Health Care are not publicly available on its website. In addition, the State Agency for Mandatory Health Insurance considers healthcare information to be highly sensitive. Accordingly, this information is not contained on its website. Information related to daily coronavirus infections and vaccinations was released publicly. It would be useful for the agency to disseminate gender, age, and region-disaggregated information to the public.

Lesson
It is problematic to use a country's overall position in the Doing Business report to monitor progress in improving the business environment and overall competitiveness. The report has been subject to criticism and methodological problems have been identified. Its usefulness for monitoring progress in similar programs lies more in monitoring the country's performance over time - particularly in indicators that are not sensitive to the representative case used by the World Bank team - rather than measuring progress against other economies.
