Huseynov said that it is necessary to use Azerbaijan’s inner potential and local raw materials to protect the country’s domestic market.
“The raw materials should be sent not for sale, but for the production,” he noted. “Manufacture of goods should be ensured at the expense of local raw materials. The main objective of the economic strategy of Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev is the diversification of the country’s economy and the complete elimination of economic dependence on the oil factor.”
“It is necessary to develop the agricultural sector, industry and tourism spheres for that,” the MP said. “At the same time, enhancement of export potential of Azerbaijan, reducing the country’s dependence on imports, manufacture of competitive products should be important factors.”
Huseynov said that the food provision of Azerbaijan should be implemented fully at the expense of the domestic market.
Regarding the importance of creating large-scale industrial complexes, the MP said that the growth of competitive export products should be one of important steps for the inflow of foreign currency into Azerbaijan.
