One of the most important conditions for economic growth and the creation of new jobs is investment activity. This was said by the Deputy Minister of Economy, Sahib Alkafarov, at a joint meeting of the Milli Majlis committees on labor and social policy issues as well as economic policy, industry and entrepreneurship issues. The deputy minister noted that in the first nine months of the year, investment in fixed capital in real terms increased by 10.9%, and private investment in the non-oil and gas sector - by approximately 21%. "These investments create opportunities for the development of new areas of production and services, as well as the expansion of economic activity and employment in the regions," noted Sahib Alkafarov.
