Bilateral Investment Treaty
A Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) is a formal agreement between two countries designed to protect and promote investments by citizens and companies of one nation in the territory of the other. These treaties establish rules governing how foreign investors must be treated, including standards of fair and equitable treatment, protection from expropriation without compensation, and mechanisms for dispute resolution. BITs have become fundamental instruments of international economic law since the 1960s.
For countries like Azerbaijan, which serves as a regional economic hub, bilateral investment treaties are crucial for attracting foreign capital and facilitating business relationships with trading partners. These agreements create predictable legal frameworks that encourage investment in sectors ranging from energy and infrastructure to services and technology. They also provide recourse mechanisms when disputes arise between foreign investors and host governments.
