Media Review October 9, 2019

The growth of export of non-oil products, discussion of oil prices, and the situation on the Razin Market are the topics of today's media.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the growth of exports of non-oil products. In January-August this year, total exports amounted to 13.5 billion dollars, which is 5% more than the same period last year.

Over the indicated period, the export of non-oil products amounted to $ 1 billion 277 million, an increase of 7% compared with the same period last year.

The website Yeni Sabah.az discusses oil prices with experts. Akif Nasirli believes that oil can be priced at $ 50 or more.

A lot depends on disasters and conflicts. He does not agree that $ 50 per barrel is a fair price. Over the past year, the price of oil is 50-70 dollars. It is beneficial for Azerbaijan to make oil more expensive, since 60-70% of the budget is generated from natural resources.

In the countries of the world when preparing budgets they do not allow the use of natural resources to exceed 25%.

The newspaper Yeni Musavat writes about the situation in the Razin market, where trade is not going on. The question of transferring this market has been raised many times, but the question remains unresolved. A few years ago there was even an incident between the leadership of the executive branch of the Sabunchu region and the merchants due to the fact that they wanted to transfer part of the market.

The market"s problems have been unsanitary conditions and traffic jams at rush hour for many years.
