The newspaper Yeni Musavat states that the minimum consumer basket should be revised. Expert Parviz Heydarov reminds that from September 1, the minimum wage will be 250 manat, and the minimum pension - 200 manat, which will exceed the cost of living. This means that it is necessary to revise the composition of the consumer basket.
According to the law, the consumer basket should be reviewed every three years. In Azerbaijan, it was last reviewed 9 years ago.
The composition of the consumer basket includes over 40 foods. In developed countries, the number of these foods is within 100 items. The expert believes that along with the revision of the consumer basket, the criterion of need should also be eliminated.
