Press Review - 24.08.17

The focus of today"s press is the non-oil sector development, the damage to the economy from "double accounting", and the problems of the technical crops development in agriculture.

The Azerbaijan in its article on the development of the non-oil sector highly evaluates the state policy in this direction. The author refers to the opening of new enterprises during the recent visit of Ilham Aliyev to the Western region. He also points to the development of infrastructure in the regions - inter-rural roads, power plants, etc.

The Echo in the article State Treasury of Azerbaijan Does Not Receive Large Sums due to "Double Accounting" touches upon problems of concealing income from taxes. The head of the Economic and Social Development Center Vugar Bayramov believes the issue of non-payment of tax by individuals in Azerbaijan is acute. "For this reason, the treasury is short of receiving huge sums. One of the reasons is the so-called "double accounting," the expert says.

In addition, very often citizens hide their real incomes, and the state does not receive tax payments.

The Novoye Vremya in the article Problems of State Development raises the topic of state support for measures to develop technical crops. At the same time, skepticism is expressed regarding the future programs for the development of cotton and tobacco growing.

"The market of cotton consumers in the country is practically non-existent; the level of production of textile, etc. is low. A significant part of the textiles sold in the country is imports. The necessary infrastructure is not good.

In the field of tobacco growing, the situation is also confusing. Recently, the Parliament and the Government actively campaigned to limit smoking in public places, while the state program for the development of tobacco growing is being adopted now.

Talking about tobacco exports would be ridiculous, because its quality is low, and there is a lot of competition in the market. The government"s desire to prepare plans and programs here is incomprehensible. -0-
