The fight against the pandemic, ways to attract investment to the country, fears about the limitations that will arise in connection with COVID-19 are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper “Azerbaijan” continues to write about the fight against the coronavirus pandemic and the possibility of canceling the quarantine regime. Since August 5, the strict quarantine regime has already been canceled, classes in educational institutions began in accordance with the conditions of the pandemic. The author reminds that certain restrictions still remain until September 30 and calls for observing the established rules.
The Müsavat.com website discusses the issue of financial amnesty. The author notes that investment must be attracted to restore the country's economy. From January to June 2020, direct investments in the amount of $ 2.1 billion were attracted to Azerbaijan. Compared to the same period last year, this is by 23.5% more. True, most of these investments (84.4%) fell on the oil and gas sector, the author notes. The authorities are attracting investments to the country, and large financial resources are leaving the country at that time. Experts believe that one of the main ways to attract investment is an economic amnesty. Moreover, this amnesty is necessary to legalize the economy. Financial amnesty is also very important.
The site “Redaktor.az” discusses the question of whether the economy of Azerbaijan will withstand COVID-19. The author claims that in the third quarter of 2020, there were difficulties in some areas of the economy.
A second wave of the coronavirus pandemic is expected in the fourth quarter of the year. Experts remind that WHO does not recommend blocking the economy during a pandemic, but managing the process by following certain rules. Many countries are forced to quarantine due to the rapid spread of the pandemic.
In Azerbaijan, the development of the economy in the fourth quarter will depend on this factor. Experts note that obstacles in some areas of the economy were removed in August. As a result, the overall recession increased from 2.8% to 3% in comparison with previous months.
