The export potential of the country's rural economy, the chances of low-income families to get an apartment, and the natural monopoly in the country are the leading topics of today's press.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the real tasks set by the President Ilham Aliyev to the agricultural sector. The author discusses the possibilities of export of agricultural products. To this end, the country has carried out important reforms. The author recalls that farmers are exempt from not only land tax but also from the payment of all taxes.
The website Azadliq.info discusses the subject raised by MP Arif Rahimzadeh, whether the Azerbaijanis are Turks. The MP says we are not Turks, and a harsh response against this version is given by Gultekin Hajibeyli.
Echo has published an article entitled Low-income Families in Azerbaijan to Be Left without Social Housing. It is no secret a large number of low-income and young families are looking forward to when the government will complete social housing in Baku. There are thousands of families who do not have their own housing. Prices for social housing in Azerbaijan will be at least 20-25% below the market. A week ago, the Cabinet allocated 20 hectares in the village of Hovsan for the second project. Given the high demand for housing in Baku, the third project is also planned for the capital. However, regions remain a priority, and especially social housing will be built in major cities.
Novoye Vremya has published an article entitled Azerbaijan in Debt, as in Silks. Natural monopolies in the Azerbaijani economy - SOCAR, Azerenergy, Azersu, Azerigaz and others - paradoxically, are more and more immersed in a crisis. At the end of 2016 most of the debt of Azerenergy was secured by state guarantees, and in accordance with the decree of the Cabinet of Ministers the government should provide funds to cover the company's payments on foreign currency loans in 2016-2025. While the tariff increase has not affected the financial results of Azerenergy, this growth has seriously affected the situation of the citizens.
