The implementation of transnational gas projects, the impact of oil prices on the formation of the state budget, rising prices on the consumer market, tourism problems in Azerbaijan are the leading topics of today's press.

The newspaper "Azerbaijan" writes about the successful implementation of the "Southern Gas Corridor" project, "Shahdeniz-2", the implementation of the last project reached 93%, the TANAP project - 77%, the TAP project - 44%.

The implementation of the Southern Gas Corridor requires 40 billion dollars, most of this amount has already been invested.

The newspaper "Echo" publishes an article on the role of oil prices in the country's budget for the next year. Governments will be insured and will not put a high price on the budget, experts say.

$ 40 is the price that will minimize the negative impact of price fluctuations on the economy of the country. Even if the price falls below $ 40, Azerbaijan will not reconsider the state budget for 2017.

Newspaper "New time" writes the state of the consumer market.

The prices for essential products continue to rise, and especially for meat. Representatives of the Cabinet have repeatedly stated that there will be no artificial increase in prices.

The "Bizim Yol" newspaper writes about the problems of tourism, arguing that for a week's holiday in Azerbaijan, you can rest in Turkey for a month, said in particular the former Consul General of Azerbaijan in Turkey, Ibrahim Nabioglu. High prices and lack of due service play an important role in the tourism industry.
