The role of the private sector in investing, the situation in the financial market, the relationship between power and emigrants are the leading topics of today's press.
The newspaper "Azerbaijan" writes about the role of the private sector in investing, and also assesses the development of the country's private economy. The author considers investing as the main artery of the economy. In his opinion, Azerbaijan is the leader in investment in comparison with a number of countries in Eastern Europe and CIS countries. Recently, local entrepreneurs have increased the amount of investment in the country's economy. In total, in the course of 14 years, 231 billion dollars were invested in the country's economy. Approximately half of them belong to foreign investors, and the other half to local investors.
"Echo" newspaper published an article titled "Is the Chamber of Supervision of Financial Markets in Azerbaijan to be dissolved?" Against the backdrop of growing problem loans, the effectiveness of the Chamber of Supervision over financial markets cannot be said. If the Chamber does not cope with its duties, is it not better to dissolve it?! According to the expert, the whole problem is that the Chamber does not have a targeted program for improving the banking sector. First, banks must get rid of problem loans. Secondly, it is necessary to create such conditions that banks themselves can conduct full-fledged economic activity and lend to the population. Currently, banks are engaged only in the sale of currency and money orders. The government, the Chamber, the Central Bank do not have a single step-by-step program to restore the banking sector. Everyone talks about the growth of problem loans, but no concrete steps are being taken in this direction.
The site "Azadlıqinfo.az" published an article titled "Igilovtsi" (supporters of LIH) by Ali Hasanov. " The author tries to investigate the causes and results of the relationship between power and political emigration. The talk is about dirty methods and repressive actions by the authorities against this group of people, allegedly insulting the current government. The article refers to Ali Hasanov's address to emigrants on his "facebook" page. In this appeal, he calls them "virtual igilovtsami", intimidating that "the case to which they have joined, will end badly."
