The Azerbaijan writes that a new stage of development has begun in the regions. 74% of loans fall to the share of regions. The author writes about the development of a new social infrastructure in the regions, which President Ilham Aliyev said during his visit to the Gakh and Zagatala regions.
The Echo published an article titled "There are no real factors of Azerbaijan"s economic growth". The process of stagnation is observed in Azerbaijan's economy. If by the end of 2017 the real growth of the national economy is one percent, as the government of Azerbaijan plans, this will be a great success. We want to believe that we will achieve this. But today there are no real factors of economic growth.
The likelihood that the annual growth of the Azerbaijani economy in the next two years will reach 3.5% is low. Again, everything depends on the government's actions in the development of the non-oil sector. The author wonders if there will be powerful enterprises in the country during this time, thanks to which it will be possible to increase the export potential of Azerbaijan.

Experts in the article talk about the reasons for delaying Azerbaijan's accession to this international structure.
