Mammadov said that the price of these products last rose in February, 2007: “During this period, economy in the world and Azerbaijan developed, personal incomes increased and demand for fuel is increasing. Moreover, our researches indicate that the fuel price in Azerbaijan is lower than in the neighboring countries. At the same time, taking into account that Azerbaijan is a regional transportation corridor, this causes certain disorganized export in the market and imbalance. In this condition, the price rise was inevitable”.

Mammadov says according to macroeconomic scenario developed by the SOCAR jointly with international advisors, influence of the current price rise on the consumer market will make 3.8%.
