The website Azadliq.info writes that according to international standards, most of the population of Azerbaijan lives in poverty.

The Novoye Vremya newspaper published an article titled Raising Excises Is Not Reform.
The author analyzes the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers on raising excises on a number of imported goods. In addition, since January 22, 2018, excise rates on gasoline imports will be restored - they had been lowered due to the suspension of production at the Baku Oil Refinery named after Heydar Aliyev. So, the excise on import of gasoline with an octane number less than 95 will increase from 1 to 200 manats.
In addition, the Cabinet of Ministers approved new excise rates on imported goods. At the same time, the excise on tobacco and tobacco products imported into Azerbaijan has been increased more than 2 times. -0----
