The website Olke.az in the article "Azerbaijan has enough foreign exchange reserves" publishes an interview with the MP Vahid Ahmedov
According to him, Azerbaijan will experience certain problems if the price of oil in the world market drops to 40-45 dollars per barrel.
He believes that while price instability in the world oil market does not pose a threat to Azerbaijan. On the one hand, there is no serious reduction in the cost of oil. On the other hand, Azerbaijan has enough foreign exchange reserves - about $ 45 billion.
The MP does not expect any economic difficulties in the near future.
In his opinion, the manat will remain stable, at least until the end of the first quarter of 2019.
