For this reason, expert Vugar Bayramov believes, pensions should be indexed from January 2019. He gives a detailed account of the indexing mechanism, which allows to increase the amount of pensions.
The Yeni Musavat newspaper writes about structural reforms, discussing this issue with MP Fazil Mustafa and Azim Masimov, an expert in this field. The MP believes that structural reforms should not be limited only to personnel changes, they should cover more areas and spheres: universities, the construction sector, to support the development of regions.
Masimov, in turn, proposes to reform the structure of the National Academy of Sciences, adding the institutes administered by the Academy to the BSU. A university should be created that has a scientific base that could reach the world level.--0--
