The Redaktor.az website discusses social housing prices with the expert Gadir Ibrahimli. The housing offered by MIDA is sold at 950 manats per square meter, that is, one apartment costs at least 30 thousand manats. This is below market prices by 10-15%.
MIDA is a state agency and the issue of cost of social housing should be transparent. This agency has advantages, they do not face obstacles like private construction companies, the land for construction is provided to them free of charge, and the business is quite preferential. However, their prices are not much different from those of private companies.
