The creation of modern transport infrastructure, the stability of the manat rate, and the decline in population growth are the themes of today's media.
The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about the development of modern transport infrastructure in the country, including the North-South and Trans-Caspian transport corridors, and the historic Silk Way.
It also speaks of the successful work on the Baku-Yalama and Baku-Gabala railway projects, and the early completion of the Baku-Ganja high-speed train project.
The newspaper Novoye Vremya writes about the stability of the manat and the dollar rush. The demand for dollars observed in mid-summer was associated with speculative demand.
Today, rising oil prices continue to maintain the stability of the national currency, and the government and the Central Bank do not show a desire to change the manat rate.
