Investment policy in the country, flour price increase, and sanatoriums" work are the leading topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the investment policy in the country. In January-November 2018, 12 billion 899.4 million manat was allocated to the development of economic and social areas from all financial sources to fixed assets.
During this period, the volume of investments in the non-oil sector increased by 21.2%.
For comparison, for the same period of 2017, the volume of investments amounted to 4 billion 754.5 million manat.
The website Modern.az writes about the increase in the price of flour. While earlier 50 kg of flour of Mehriban variety cost 27 manat, now it is 28 manat 50 gapik.
The variety Sary Sunbul cost 25 manat 50 gapik, and now it is 27 manat 50 gapik, Carmen cost 25 manat, and now it is 27 manat.
Some companies attribute this to the alleged increase in the price of flour in the world market.
In 2018, Azerbaijan produced 12.6% more grain than in 2017. That is, there is no shortage of flour. At the same time, expert Natig Jafarli notes that the price of grain in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan increased by 5-10%, which affected our prices.
The website Marja.az writes about the situation with sanatoriums that work to their detriment. Chairman of the Confederation of Trade Unions Sattar Mehbaliyev said the average cost of a voucher to a sanatorium is 600 manat.
Prices do not increase, because ordinary citizens cannot afford it. If you increase the price of vouchers to 1,500-2,000 manat for foreign citizens, then the situation can be somewhat corrected, he said.
There is also no system of children's camps in the country, and the creation of sanatoriums for children requires large funds.--0--
