Press Review 08/11/2016

Human rights, the problem of sewerage system of the capital, false official information structures, high level of dollarization of the economy, and problems with heating in the schools of the capital are today's press themes.

The Azerbaijan newspaper writes that human rights and freedoms are provided in Azerbaijan best of all, and there are great advances in the field of democracy.

As proof it mentions the Human Rights National Plan of Action approved by President Ilham Aliyev in late 2011.

The website Azadliq.info writes about the sewage system in the capital and the fate of millions allocated for reconstruction of urban infrastructure.

As we remember, after the rains in the capital we had to cross the streets by swimming.

Deputy Prime Minister Abid Sharifov said that the construction of the sewage system in Baku needed millions.

In the capital sewers were built in the 50s and do not meet modern requirements. For the reconstruction of the sewage system a state program should be prepared. However, there is also a problem such as poor governance and the plundering of public funds.

Echo published an article entitled: "The ratings of Azerbaijan; when judged from the outside." Indices of business confidence, consumer activity index, purchasing power, and many other parameters - experts in most countries are oriented to them, assessing the economic situation.

And who is doing it in Azerbaijan? From government agencies only the State Committee conducts such studies, and independent economists use information about Azerbaijan from international organizations reports. Unfortunately, in Azerbaijan objective studies are not prepared.

Novoye Vremya writes about "Dollarization of the economy." In the structure of bank deposits the dollarization level as of October 1 amounted to 81.75%. During the corresponding period last year it was 75.7%.

According to the Central Bank, the dollarization of the deposit base as of October 1 amounted to 78.64%.

Dollarization of the economy may be one reason for the lack of cash.

In many areas of the economy and social life the foreign currency replaces the function of the domestic currency.

Bizim Yol writes about the problem with the heating in the background by early frosts. In the center of attention is the lack of heating in hospitals, schools and kindergartens, which is why people get sick more often. However, the authorities refuse to connect the heating before November 15.
