The start given to the Formula-1 competition, obstacles to regional development, and the impact of weather on agricultural yields are the leading topics of today's media.

On Saturday for one hour, the pilots will hold a training session, and on Sunday there will be competitions. The maximum speed on the highway will be 370 km / h.
The newspaper Yeni Musavat writes about the development of regions, discussing the results of three state programs with economists. In 2018, more than 80 percent of GDP was in the private sector, over 75 percent of employment was also in the private sector, and more than 950 thousand business entities were registered, of which 66.6% were in the regions. However, only 34 districts (out of more than 80) can live without subsidies from the center. In 2019, the local expenses will amount to 840 million manat, which is 16.1% more compared to last year.
The website Modern.az writes about the weather in April, which adversely affects the yield of fruits, especially apricots, because they already bloomed when unstable weather arrived, and even the pollination process took place. And this will affect the yield of 50% of the trees. Low yields will lead to high prices. -0-
