MP from the ruling party criticized the decision of the Tariff Council

During a budget debate in the parliament the MP from the ruling party "Yeni Azerbaijan" Yevda Abramov criticized the recent decision of the Tariff Council on increase of electricity and gas prices. According to Turan, on 7 December  at the plenary session of the parliament deputy said he did not understand the arguments of the Tariff Council, and does not agree with the increase in prices.

"The Tariff Council says that 62% of the population did not feel this increase. I do not believe these numbers," he said. Abramov said that it is wrong to raise prices at a time and put people in a more difficult position. "Do the officials  think about the people when they take such serious decisions? I doubt it," he continued. Besides Abramov showed dissatisfaction with the prosperity of the "black currency market." He noted that near metro stations people freely buy and sell foreign currency.

"Where  do these people take such bags  full of dollars? Why  did they  close currency exchange? Practice has shown that the decision to close the points of currency exchange did not give its effect," said Abramov. The MP Elmira Akhundova also spoke about the fate of currency exchange points.

'Black market' currency thrives. We cannot buy currency for  days, but it is possible to get  any amount of  currency on the  "black market."  I do not understand why they  closed currency exchange? I think that they should be open," she said.

MP Ali Masimli, in turn, appealed to the representatives of the government with  several questions, including: will the current financial and credit policies lead to a third devaluation? when will the rate of manat stabilize? whether they provided concrete benefits to citizens who have loans in foreign currency ?.

MP from the ruling party Siyavush Novruzov also said that it is necessary to carry out structural reforms in the state apparatus and the need to eliminate redundant offices.

MP Rafael Jabrailov drew attention to the failure of regional development programs. "Despite the implementation of a large number of state programs, the regions do not become economically autonomous.  Because there is no progress in this area,  there are enough problems. Just that is why most regions live off state subsidies," he said. -71D-
