Press review 12.03.18

Tourist and medical capabilities of Naftalan, the position of the banking system, the formation of festive fairs are the leading topics of today's press.

The newspaper "Azerbaijan" writes about the tourist and medical capabilities of Naftalan. The author of the article recalls the recommendations and instructions of the head of state during his visit to Naftalan, in accordance with which work was carried out on the development of tourism in Naftalan.

The presence of five-star hotels, high level of service affects the growth of the number of tourists, which reached 40%. So, over 35 thousand tourists have been registered, who came from 62 countries of the world.

The "Echo" newspaper published an article entitled "Azerbaijani banks are dragging out bankruptcy". Today there are no more than 10 relatively healthy banks in Azerbaijan, and even with state support.

It can be unequivocally said that 2/3 of the current banks will close with time. However, the sooner this happens, the better for the banking system of the country. Today, this system is like a cancerous tumor, which also captures healthy "cells". The banks themselves delay bankruptcy, and the Chamber for the supervision of financial markets for some reason does not recall the license.

The newspaper Novoye Vremya writes about the low level of agricultural fairs, which turned into formality. The author cites figures showing the rise in prices on holiday days. All the products necessary for the festive table have grown in price, so many people simply can not approach them. With regard to agricultural fairs, they have already become purely formal, since their prices do not differ from the prices in the markets.
