We’ll deepen these reforms and provide sustainability of Azerbaijan’s econmy’.
According to Aliyev, these figures are indicator of policy conducted. At the same time, Azerbaijan’s community is aware of this.
‘International financial organizations also appreciate our reforms. For Davos Forum’s calculations, Azerbaijan is one of the 35 most competitive countries. Our successful economic reforms are completed with very serious social policy. We have always said that our policy focuses on Azerbaijan’s citizen. Economic reforms sometimes have negative impact on social field. Therefore, no social program was stopped even in the period of economic crisis two years ago. All social obligations were fulfilled timely. As our opportunities increased, we started to pay more attention to the social issues. Salaries in budget-financed organizations have been increased by 10 percent this year. If we look at the map, we’ll see that salaries are increased in rare countries. We do that as far as possible and we’ll continue to do. Hundreds of millions of manat have been allocated for increase of salaries, pensions this year. This shows that we want Azerbaijani citizen to live better’.
