External and internal successes of Azerbaijan, interruptions in gas supply, and economic operations in the national currency are the leading topics of today's press.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the country's independence against the backdrop of success in the last 15 years. The author notes that independence originates from the reign of Heydar Aliyev. The strength of this independence was given by the oil contracts signed in 1994.
The Echo newspaper writes that Azerbaijan is not ready to switch over to payments in the national currency. The best option for Azerbaijan is to continue to conduct settlements in the US currency.
Today, many countries are trying to avoid dependence on the dollar, which has been preserved for decades. This process is called dedollarization. The situation in the world is very difficult. The practice of applying international sanctions, initiated by the US government, has become more frequent. Therefore, many countries have decided to make payments on trade and economic operations with partner countries into national currencies. On the one hand, this is a positive factor, as it will give a certain saving due to the absence of double conversion.
The newspaper Novoye Vremya writes about gas supply problems. SOCAR and Azerigaz accuse each other.
