“The insurance charges have increased threefold, while the rate of insurance payout has doubled for the past 6-7 years. Whereas much work has been carried out in the insurance sector, the sphere still remains one of the issues of great concern for the population of the country. Complaints over the insurance services predominate over the total number of appeals to the Financial Body,” he said, stressing that the fact necessitates further improvement of the sphere.

The national currency rate, as well as the rate of inflation is currently under controlled economic frameworks. We seek formation of the economic environment, which is able to provide for the decrease of the transactional business expenses. The measures are supported by the government”

He said that the provision of broad access to the investment and financial services is also among the main directions. “We have already defined all necessary actions on this direction and started to implement them. The actions will cover the activity in the banking, financial and insurance sectors.”

Aslanli also underlined the importance of flexible and effective judicial reform creation.

Main directions of the strategic “road map” of the national economy as well as priority sectors of the economy have been set by the president. The main objective of the road map is to ensure sustainable economic growth, correctly define the development strategies for auxiliary sectors that contribute to creating the economy’s leading sectors and the necessary economic infrastructure.
