The public-private dialogue within the Commission on Business Environment and International Ratings has a long-term strategic focus and a mobile governance structure. The Azranking.az portal provides productive work by moving public-private dialogue to digital platforms. Implementation of this type of public-private dialogue ensures that the economic reforms implemented under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev are inclusive, efficient, comprehensive and systematic. The implementation of public private dialogue in Azerbaijan is in line with the principles of good administration and open government. On the other hand, the implementation of public-private dialogue opens up more opportunities for citizen participation. Thus, the human factor stands in the face of economic policy, and economic policy is aimed at ensuring a decent standard of living for the citizens of Azerbaijan. Because Azerbaijani citizen is involved in the formation of economic policy through various forms of organization - brain centers, public organizations, brain centers, business structures and state structures. This is the result of well-organized economic reforms that today Azerbaijan takes the 25th place among 190 countries in the World Bank's Doing Business report and is
