A website dedicated to import substitution and supporting local production will start operating in Azerbaijan soon, Executive Director of the Center for Analysis of Economic Reforms and Communications Vusal Gasimli said, Trend reports.

He made the remarks at a ceremony of signing a memorandum of understanding between the Center for Analysis of Economic Reforms and Communications and Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR on April 8.
