According to the Minister of Economics Mikail Jabbarov, damage was caused even to large enterprises due to downtime. It is important that business structures can adapt to new conditions. However, compliance with sanitary rules is necessary, otherwise the quarantine regime will be reinforced again.
The website Azpolitika.info writes about the injustice in the distribution of apartments in houses for journalists, since apartments were received by people having nothing to do with journalism.

The Mətbuat.az website writes that the delay in repaying loans from March 1 to September 30 will not spoil the credit history of citizens. This means that the Central Bank recommends that banks do not charge interest for late payment of loans.
The Mortgage Fund will restructure loans issued before March 1 and benefits will be applied until September 30.
