He stated that thanks to the steps taken by the Government of Azerbaijan, last year, the annual inflation rate dropped to a single digit. Successful inflation control measures continue this year as well. In the first four months, the annual inflation rate remains to be low. Last year, GDP growth was recorded in Azerbaijan, and all of this growth was due to the non-oil sector: "There have been structural changes in our country's economy.
