CAERC Wins the “FinTech Awards 2026” International Award
The Center for Analysis of Economic Reforms and Communication (CAERC) has been announced as a winner of the “FinTech Awards 2026” international awards programme organised by the UK-based publication “Wealth & Finance International”.
The Center received the award in the category of “Best Smart Monitoring Platform for Socio-Economic Development Strategy 2026”.
The international award reflects global recognition of CAERC's work in applying digital technologies to the monitoring and evaluation of state programmes and strategies, developing innovative analytical solutions, and promoting data-driven governance.
In the official presentation of the “FinTech Awards 2026” programme, CAERC was recognised as Azerbaijan's national institution responsible for monitoring and evaluating state programmes. Particular emphasis was placed on the role of the Center's “Smart Monitoring” platform in tracking the implementation of the “Socio-Economic Development Strategy of the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2022–2026”. The platform enables the systematisation of data on targets, measures and outcomes defined in strategic documents, monitoring implementation progress, and analysing achieved results. Digital monitoring mechanisms support the assessment of strategic priorities and the formulation of management decisions based on analytical data.
The official presentation of the international award highlights the “Smart Monitoring” platform's real-time performance tracking, artificial intelligence-powered analytics and evidence-based decision-making capabilities as key criteria. It also notes that the platform supports the implementation of socio-economic development objectives set out in the Strategy, including the goal of “A Healthy Lifestyle in Society”. This is important for improving the efficiency of monitoring and evaluation processes and enabling a more systematic analysis of the relationship between strategic objectives and achieved results.
Further information about the award is available on the official website of “Wealth & Finance International”.
