ABSTRACT
Today, one of the most serious problems of most oil-producing countries is to minimize the
dependence of the economy on oil. To reduce the dependence of the economy of all spheres on
oil, the governments of these countries are taking steps to ensure superior development of the
real sector. However, studies show that in some oil countries, although these goals have been
set for many years, they are practically impossible to achieve. In developing countries, there
are a number of reasons that impede the superior development of the real economy of these
countries. And, if one of the conditions for solving this problem is the creation of a real business
environment by the state, then another condition is to ensure the availability of financial
resources for business. That is, if both of these conditions are met at a time, it will be possible
to ensure superior development of the real sector. But, as research shows, it is almost
impossible to witness cases of compliance with both of these conditions at a time in either of
the developing countries. The main goal of the article is to analyze the role of bank loans in the
business environment existing in Azerbaijan. Our main responsibility in this article is to
determine the impact of bank loans directed to the real sector of the economy on GDP growth,
including on GDP related to the non-oil sector. For this, ergometric modeling was used during
the study. The study revealed that if the structure of general lending is not fundamentally
changed, the impact of bank loans on the development of the country's economy will not be able
to exceed the lower level. In addition, the primary problem that hampers the change in the
existing lending system in favor of the real sector is that the level of annual interest rates on
loans often exceeds the level of profitability in the real sector by up to two times. Another
problem is that loans to the real sector are short-termed. Through our research, we offer an
optimized option for the terms and interest rates of loans issued to the real sector.

1. INTRODUCTION
The dependence of the economy on resources, as a rule, does not allow it to develop in a
balanced way. The light money coming into the country from the sale of resources, ultimately
leads to an unjustified appreciation of national currencies and the collapse of a competitive
environment for the development of other sectors of the economy. However, this does not
happen in all cases. Another experience shows that some countries with large resources have
achieved substantial economic growth by skillfully using them. Countries such as the United
States, Canada, Norway and Malaysia are examples of this. In other countries, the situation is
quite different. For example, Saudi Arabia can balance its budget normally, while oil prices on
world markets are $ 80-85 per barrel. Russia and Azerbaijan feel comfortable with oil at $ 60 a
barrel. Even worse is the situation in oil countries such as Venezuela and Nigeria. This is not
to say that these countries are doing nothing to make their economies dependent on oil. For
example, in early 2016, Saudi Arabia set out a plan for structural reforms in the economy until
2030; although they said, By 2020, we will live without oil, today Saudi Arabia's economy is
dependent on oil. The resource countries were also the countries that suffered the most from
the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the world economy.
