“The profound reform” in the Azerbaijani economy, which has declared the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, may begin in September, said Nazim Mammadov , the head of the Club of economists, and in an interview with the program "Cetin sual."
According to him, some steps were taken recently. So, there were a number of associations of state bodies, cut costs, suspended inspection, simplified licensing rules, etc. However, all this does not give the desired effect. There is still a dictate of monopolists, there is not an atmosphere of free competition, access to cheap finance, AZN continues to become cheaper with the threat of a new devaluation. Mammadov considers it important to start with the reform of the structure of the Cabinet of Ministers. Today the government is made up of 40 organizations, which often double each other. There are six prime minister in the government unclear functions.
Today, there is a need for a mobile government of 20 people, just like in neighboring Georgia, where the prime minister has only two deputies, who are ministers at the same time.
Mammadov skeptically assesses the ability of the current Azerbaijani government, most of the members of which are at the age of 70 years of age, and older, 75-80 years old, including the prime minister.
On the other hand, the country is heavily dependent on imports. Despite the high potential of agriculture the country does not have the processing industry. To separate business from administrative pressure the expert proposes to combine taxes and obligatory payments for social insurance, and to determine their level at 20%, instead of the current 40%.
Mammadov considers necessary the abolition of the state fund of social protection, as an ineffective structure. It is also necessary to eliminate customs as a separate structure, and pass to the Ministry of Taxes.
The recovery of the banking sector requires the transference of about 3-5 billion foreign exchange reserves of the country as a long-term interest-free loans to Azerbaijani banks with high corporate culture for the financing the real economy in the form of cheap loans.
Expert proposes to reform the management system in the regions too. In his view, there is no need to create an executive power in each region. –06D-
