The fight against the Corona Virus pandemic and its effects, state support envisaged against this background, and the attitude to rising oil prices on the world market are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that experts highly appreciate measures to reduce the impact of the pandemic in the country. Particularly emphasized is the program, covering 300 thousand workers in the private sector, 290 thousand micro and private entrepreneurs, and a low-income population. This program provides for a partial tax refund, exemption from certain types of tax, and reduction of the business loan burden of entrepreneurs. Small and medium-sized entrepreneurs suffered most from the crisis.
The website Redaktor.az discusses with the expert Rashad Hasanov the measures envisaged by the state to reduce the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The expert believes that these measures do not concern the illegal labor market. To use the help, you must be a member of the legal labor market and have an employment contract. The expert believes that there are no direct benefits to citizens. Reducing the monthly limit creates the conditions for the consumption of electricity at a low price. This means 4 manats for a family discount per month. The expert believes that for the period of quarantine of citizens it is necessary to exempt from all utility bills.
Musavat.com discusses the oil situation with the expert Rovshan Agaev. According to the expert, until the recession created by the pandemic is eliminated, it is impossible to increase the price of oil by increasing its production. Today, at world oil exchanges, oil prices have risen from $ 25 to $ 36, and then fell back to $ 29. The expert considers it doubtful that Russia and Saudi Arabia will reduce oil production by 25-30%. According to the expert, in this case, the removal of excess oil from the market will not have a significant impact on its value.
The Azadliq.info website discusses the issue of mask deficit. For a day you can go around 50 pharmacies to find a medical mask and this despite the fact that the need for it has increased significantly. At the same time, the police manage to fine citizens who go without a mask. Nevertheless, Azerbaijan, showing humanism, sends 10 thousand masks to Hungary. And this is despite the fact that the country has a shortage of medical masks, the author resents.
