Media Review for January 29, 2020
The successes of the non-oil sector, new trends in politics, and the lack of interest of entrepreneurs in the upcoming parliamentary elections are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan reports on the successes in the non-oil sector in 2019. According to the State Statistics Committee, last year the country produced GDP of 81.7 billion manat, which is 2.2% more than in 2018.
68% of GDP fell on industry, trade, transport repair, transport and storage, agriculture and forestry, and 16.7% - on other areas.
The author notes that in total over this period, production in the non-oil sector increased by 14.3%. In 2019, 11 billion 139.2 million manat was spent on the development of the non-oil sector, of which 3 billion 139.2 million manat was spent on industry in the non-oil sector.
The export of non-oil products for 11 months of 2019 amounted to 1 billion 781.1 million dollars, which is 10.3% more than the same period in 2018.
The website Modern.az writes about a sharp decrease in the number of young people who want to engage in politics. According to experts, parties are aging as young people avoid politics. Moreover, this trend is observed throughout the world.
It turns out that in the 21st century, in the world of the Internet there is no place for politics. In the 21st century, ideological dogmas lose relevance. Today, ideological discourse has become an instrument in the hands of governments. In many European countries, parties are replaced by more attractive political associations.
The website Yenisabah.az discusses the topic of why entrepreneurs are not interested in the upcoming parliamentary elections, do not enter the race, and do not nominate their candidacy. Entrepreneurs prefer to do their business, and therefore do not show interest in the parliamentary elections. This trend is observed not only in Azerbaijan, but also in the world as a whole.
Some experts believe that the non-participation of entrepreneurs in the election may be related to the requirement of the CEC to provide full information about the property. According to the law, ministers, deputies and government officials cannot engage in business, but they do this indirectly.
