Media Ignore Deficit of US Dollars
Almost all the Azerbaijani media do not comment on the suspension of sales of the US dollar in the country's banks.
On Monday, banks and exchange offices have not been selling dollars, despite the fact that the Central Bank announced the official dollar exchange rate of $ 1 = 1.0470 AZN.
Moreover, a number of media emphasize the strengthening of the manat against the US dollar.
This behavior suggests that the media were instructed not to touch upon this painful subject and not to create additional excitement around the monetary uncertainty.
The websites of the online media are full of a variety of domestic and international news and they little touch on the socio-political and social aspects of life.
The tension on the foreign exchange market began to be felt in the past week, and especially to its end. Rumors spread about the second wave of devaluation are not denied. The Central Bank does not comment on the current situation, only saying it is under control. -0-
