Baku – APA-Economics. “Oil price fell and consequently the state investments declined, little capital was invested in construction sphere and this led to economic crisis. However, it’s gratifying that our industry is growing. Our industry is increasing 0.2% despite this is a low figure. Non-oil sector of our economy, industry increased 3.6%. This is good. Agriculture increased 2.4% and I am sure it will increase more.
