'In some ways I accept the wishes we have been given about the programmes. But none of the predictions made by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are self-evident. Including countries. ."

The EPA reports that Elnur Aliyev, deputy minister of economics, said this during a meeting of the National Assembly's Committee on Economic Policy, Industry and Enterprise to discuss the bill "On the Implementation of the 2022 State Budget of the Republic of Azerbaijan."

The deputy minister has said last year's wars are reason to say it is impossible to predict reality at any level.

Elnur Aliyeva also clarified the issue of inflation: "I accept the idea of holding a hearing on inflation. The reason for inflation in food products is that our main partners in this area are Russia and Kazakhstan. There are now restrictions and bans in that market, and the structure of imports from Turkey to Azerbaijan is foreign products, automotive products, and so on. Inflation in Turkey has been more than 70% in the past year, which is causing the price of products that come to us to rise. There have been huge increases from the construction, tourism and transportation sectors in the past year, and there has been a lot of tax inclusion in this area."
