The Echo published an article entitled "The government should not develop troubled sectors at the expense of the state budget". It will be extremely difficult for Azerbaijan to restore lost markets. Competition in the international market is very high. Of course, you can develop troubled industries for internal use, but the profits of enterprises will not be the same as before. Heavy and light industry has stood idle for many years in Azerbaijan, and knitting and metallurgical enterprises and oil machine construction have been lost. A huge production base has undergone crash and bankruptcy as a result of the collapse of the USSR. Until now, these industries are idle. It is worth noting that at present the government is trying to revive the light industry and launch the pharmaceutical industry. There is a certain work in the automotive industry together with foreign companies. But it is necessary to raise the fish industry and the food industry. The domestic market is full of imported products, while the country's resources allow it to occupy this niche with domestic goods, at least in the Azerbaijani market.
