In 2019, the country's total economic growth amounted to 2%, in the non-oil sector growth was 3.5%, in the non-oil industry 14%, and in agriculture 7%. According to the results of 11 months, inflation amounted to 2.6% and the country's foreign exchange reserves reached $ 50 billion. Over the current year, over 5 thousand houses for internally displaced persons have been built.
Bizimyol.info discusses the availability of jobs with economist Gubad Ibadoglu. According to data as of November 1, 78,700 unemployed were registered in Azerbaijan at the Employment Center. Compared to the same period last year, this is 232.4% more.
During this period, the vacancies offered by the Employment Center turned out to be 4.4 times less than the required ones - 17.8 thousand.
According to official figures, over the 9 months of this year, 164.4 thousand jobs were opened in the country, and 7.3 thousand were closed. The economist predicts inflation in 2020, and hence unemployment.
The Moderator.az website discusses with the expert Ilham Ismail the detention of several ISIS members at the Nakhchivan border. In fact, ISIS has been ousted from Syria and Iraq, and they are currently forced to hide in the Middle East, where they are again trying to organize.
Ilham Ismail notes that Turkey will extradite 29 ISIS members - Azerbaijani citizens to Azerbaijan. The expert considers incorrect the lack of information about the members of ISIS detained at the Nakhchivan border, their citizenship, and their goals.
