The 18th anniversary of the signing of the document that defines the route of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, the prospects for external debts, the high price of foodstuffs are the leading topics of today's press.
The newspaper "Azerbaijan" writes about an agreement signed on 18 years ago to determine the route of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline.
On November 18, 1999, at the OSCE summit in Istanbul, an agreement was signed on the oil pipeline across Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. The article speaks about the special role of Heydar Aliyev in the implementation of this project.
The newspaper "Echo" published an article titled "Azerbaijan's external debt by 2020 will come close to the country's GDP?" Just two years ago, Azerbaijan's external debt was equal to 8% of GDP, but today, according to official figures, it grew to 18%.
Azerbaijan has a slightly specific format for calculating external debt: it calculates only that part of the debt that was used, but the other part that has already been taken and will be spent in subsequent years is not taken into account.
Over the past two years, the speed of Azerbaijan's external borrowing has increased significantly. If the trend continues, the external debt of the AR by 2020 will approach the country's GDP.
