  • Abstract

    The study aimed to develop practical recommendations based on sustainable economic growth and long-term financial stability. The study presented a comprehensive methodology for the development of long-term financial strategies aimed at the sustainable development of companies in an unstable macroeconomic environment and global challenges. Capital management and diversification of funding sources were defined as key aspects of financial planning. Companies actively use cash flow analysis tools and liquidity ratios, and are attracting investment through bonds, initial public offerings (IPOs), and partnership programmes. The use of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain can improve forecasting accuracy and accelerate decision-making processes. The integration of environmental, social responsibility, and corporate governance (ESG) principles into financial planning was highlighted. This approach enhances the flexibility of strategies, turning them into dynamic tools that adapt to changes in the external environment. The study discussed the specifics of economic development in Azerbaijan, including dependence on the oil and gas sector, the need for diversification, and the role of infrastructure projects. The financial stability of key economic players was analysed: State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR), Azersun Holding, and Pasha Bank. Their strategic approaches to risk management, the introduction of innovative technologies, and efforts to improve financial stability were discussed. The results demonstrated that successful financial strategies require consideration of macroeconomic conditions, an innovative approach, and systematic risk management.
