The newspaper Echo published an article entitled Why Azerbaijani Women Do Not Go into Business. Women in business work just as well as men. But the weak sex in Azerbaijan does not want to get into business. The majority of registered women entrepreneurs do not have their own business.

The newspaper Novoye Vremya published an article entitled The Central Bank Again Hopes for Higher Oil Prices. If the head of the Central Bank Elman Rustamov talks about the fate of the manat, then nothing good is expected. Even now, the head of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan, Elman Rustamov, has already announced the possibility of growth of the manat rate by the end of the year. According to him, today the manat rate goes towards strengthening, because the state of the balance of payments is very good, and oil prices are favorable. In addition, the country"s chief banker has excluded the possibility of the CBA refusal of the floating rate of the manat. Today"s situation can be seen as an enforced, but very useful, needing to diversify the economy.
