The development of the chemical industry in the country, the new approach of experts to the subsistence minimum standard, and the reasons for the failure to commission apartment buildings are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that Sumgayit is again becoming the center of the chemical industry. Currently, it is the second largest industrial center of the South Caucasus.
Recently, modern enterprises have begun to operate in Sumgayit, social and infrastructure projects are being implemented. Further, the author provides more detailed data on the factories that have opened in the city, on the Sumgayit chemical and technical park.
The website Musavat.com writes about a new approach to living standards. The author reminds that for this year the subsistence minimum for the able-bodied population is set at 191 manat, for pensioners - 149 manat, and for children - 160 manat. Experts believe that the living wage standards are outdated because today"s per capita income is $ 5,000. In addition, in 2015, the World Bank raised the daily per capita income to $ 1.90 from $ 1.25.
Experts also believe that the consumer basket should also be recalculated. Existing indicators do not reflect the actual subsistence level. Moreover, Soviet standards are applied.
The website Marja.az writes about the problems of receiving apartment buildings, and discusses this issue with the chairman of the State Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture Samir Nuriyev.
According to him, about 400 houses did not pass the procedure of acceptance and were not put into operation. However, about 10 thousand people live in these buildings. As for the reasons, this is the incompleteness of the projects.
So, the documentation is not in order, as well as alterations in buildings, which is a departure from the project. -0-----
