During the meeting, Rustamov spoke in detail about stability in the country, thanks in part to reforms that the bank had taken, as well as developments made in the banking sector, economy and in non-oil sectors.

Hendry noted his approval of the measures taken by the bank for the country. He praised the reforms recently enacted that allowed growth and stability in the financial sector of Azerbaijan. He also expressed that companies in the U.K. are more than willing to cooperate with Azerbaijan enterprises, specifically in the banking and numerous non-oil industries.
