Media Review for March 19, 2020

Strengthening measures in Azerbaijan against global shocks, discussion of benefits on loan repayments, reduction in tourism, and the possibility of devaluation of the manat are the topics of today's media.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the government’s strengthening measures against global shocks, whether it is a drop in oil prices, a recession in the global economy, or the Corona Virus pandemic.

All conditions are created for the fight against the Corona Virus. Measures are also being taken in connection with a sharp drop in the cost of oil on the world market. Inflation and the foreign exchange market are controlled, and the stability of the manat is maintained. The implementation of social programs was taken under special control.

The website Modern.az discusses the proposal of the deputy Vugar Bayramov on concessions in the payment of loans. This is necessary to reduce the impact of the Corona Virus on the economy.

In the next 3 months, commercial banks must make concessions on the issue of loan repayments. In connection with the Corona Virus online trading has become more active. It is also necessary to increase access to preferential loans for entrepreneurs in the regions.

The website Oxu.az writes about the situation in the field of tourism. The situation in connection with the Corona Virus has hit hotels, restaurants and the entire tourism business. Employees of hotels in Baku have come in droves under reduction. In a difficult situation are hotels in the regions. Hotel managers invited from abroad continue to work.

The Bizimyolinfo website is discussing with the economist Gubad Ibadoglu the inevitability of a devaluation of the manat, as the price of oil has fallen to $ 26. Everything that is happening now in the foreign exchange and deposit markets negatively affects the monetary policy and the situation of banks.
