Media Review September 19, 2019

Azerbaijan's road infrastructure, the threat of turning social housing into commercial, and the situation in the rental housing market are topics of today's media.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the country's road infrastructure, calling it thorough. Over the past 15 years, 15 thousand km of roads have been built. This year it is planned to lay rural and intercity roads. The total length will be approximately 1,000 km. Over the past 6 months, approximately 400 km of roads have been built.

The website Moderator.az writes about the threat of turning social housing into commercial. The economist Vugar Bayramov discusses this topic. According to him, there is information that these apartments are offered for rent at an expensive price. Moreover, those who purchased social housing on preferential terms do this. The philosophy of social housing itself is to provide housing for those who do not have their own dwelling. The expert believes that it is necessary to limit access to social housing for people who have their own housing.

The website Oxu.az writes about the situation in the rental housing market. The expert Ramil Osmanli comments on the situation. According to him, currently, compared with last year, rental prices have increased by about 15-20%. The expert notes that the increase in prices is associated with a limited portfolio of offers and a decrease in rental housing, and this has happened in the last two years due to the demolition of housing in Sovet Street and in the settlements of Keshla and Montin. The expert also notes that the apartments, which were offered at 250 manat, now cost 300-320 manat. As for the possible reduction in rental prices, now there are no economic reasons for this. -0---
