01 April 2008 [15:29] - TODAY.AZ
In line with the monitoring I have held, the real rise in prices exceeds the forecast of the government, fixed in the state budget.
The due announcement was made by Ali Masimli at a session of Milli Medjlis today.

"Price growth rates are higher on the food market, For example, in line with the monitoring, I held in Sheki, the price on bread has risen by 33%, flour 19%, beef over 50%. This has a negative impact on the living conditions of the population", he said.

At the same time, the deputy proposed to broaden the number of aid recipients.

"Poverty rate in the country makes up 16%  which means 400,000 people. The addressed social aid is provided to only 400,000 people. Moreover, I offer to release people, who earn maximum AZN 75 from taxes", Masimli said.
