But this is not so. The government still has many tasks to be resolved urgently. Among the factors that impede the development of the country there is the lack of diversification, unstable manat, the problems of banks and low income of the population.
In addition, the struggle against monopoly and corruption is also a headache. The indicators of economic growth are still very low. The Azerbaijani economy began to experience such difficulties not only because of the fall in oil prices.
The economy developed one-sidedly, and sooner or later we had to come to a standstill.
