"Exo" published an article about a completely new form of "black market" currencies. On January 12 this year, the Central Bank canceled the difference limit previously set at exchange rates in commercial banks from the official exchange rate (plus or minus 4%). This was supposed to put an end to the so-called "black market", but it continues to thrive, however, now in a completely new format. Previously, the black market supplied the bankers themselves, because to sell dollars at 4% margin was unprofitable. Today, however, the new "black market" took the nature of retail, and it has involved only speculators, by the way, the purchase and sale is more profitable than in the banks.
"New time" writes ironically about the mayor Hajibala Abutalibov’s statements that instead of solving the problem of the city's infrastructure, called on journalists to take the picks and shovels to fight the aftermath of showers.
