Given the growth in food prices, as part of changes to the state budget of this year, 193 million manata will be aimed at creating food security reserves. This was announced in a conversation with reporters, Minister of Finance Samir Sharifov.
According to him, based on this, the state plans to take additional flexible measures in this area.
“The government develops and implements certain anti -inflationary measures in accordance with the instructions of the President of Azerbaijan. Most of them are associated with the abolition of existing customs duties and taxes for food products imported to Azerbaijan. That is, the corresponding decisions are made. We believe that as a result of the implementation of the decisions made at least by eliminating the increase in prices for those goods that fall to the share of the government of Azerbaijan, there will be a slight decrease in prices, ”Samir Sharifov said.
