The stable development of the economy in the country, a statement by Finance Minister Samir Sharifov in connection with the manat, and the prices of New Year's Eve in restaurants and entertainment centers of the capital are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the stable development of the country's economy. The author writes that over the past 15 years, the country's foreign exchange reserves have increased 28 times, reaching $ 45 billion.
250 billion dollars from Italy, Germany, Great Britain, the USA, Japan, Russia, Turkey, etc. were invested in the economy.
For 15 years, an agreement on the avoidance of double taxation was signed with 51 countries, and investment agreements were signed with 47 countries.
In 2017, $ 14.6 billion was invested in the country, which demonstrates the attractiveness of Azerbaijan for investors.
For 2019, the state investment program is estimated at 6 billion 129 million 300 thousand manat.
The website Olke.az discusses the issue of possible devaluation of the manat. The author recalls the words of Finance Minister Samir Sharifov: "The sharp strengthening of the manat adversely affects the rate of the manat, and it adversely affects exports. It becomes the reason for the increase in imports, so we must try to solve a number of issues."
This statement was not met unambiguously by the public, the author writes. MP Vahid Ahmedov called the statement incomprehensible. According to him, today the country needs a steady manat so that the events of 2015 do not repeat. The MP recalls that the country's foreign exchange reserves amount to $ 45 billion, and as a result of the country's economic policy, no devaluation is expected.
The website Oxu.az writes about the prices of New Year's celebrations in restaurants and entertainment centers of Baku. Celebrations start on December 23. Prices range from 100 to 300 manat per person. The article provides detailed pricing and restaurant names. -0-----
