The Central Bank Of Azerbaijan Changed The Discount…
On May 1, the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA) lowered the discount rate from 7.5 to 7.25 percent, Day.Az reported on Wednesday with reference to the CBA.
According to the CBA, the upper limit of the interest rate corridor was reduced from 8.5 percent to 8.25 percent, and the lower limit remained unchanged at 6.25 percent.
“This decision was made taking into account the comparison of actual and projected inflation with the target (4±2%), stabilization of inflation expectations and changes in the balance of risks. Considering that the inflation forecast has changed downward, the reduction of the upper limit of the interest rate corridor and the discount rate is aimed at easing monetary conditions. Keeping the lower limit unchanged helps reduce the volatility of interbank interest rates. When determining these parameters of the interest rate corridor, the possibility of their influence on interest rates in the interbank money market was also taken into account,” the CBA said in a commentary.
Let us note that the next decision of the Central Bank on the parameters of the interest rate corridor will be announced on June 21.

Warren Buffett’s Perspective on Artificial Intelligence
Warren Buffett has openly acknowledged his limited knowledge of artificial intelligence, aligning with his principle of avoiding technology beyond his expertise. Despite this, his significant investment in Apple, his largest stock holding despite recent reductions, was driven more by its consumer appeal than a bet on technology, as revealed during the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting.
At the event, Buffett addressed the topic of AI in response to shareholder inquiries. Describing AI as profound, he likened it to a “genie” with potentially catastrophic consequences once unleashed. From concerns about AI-enabled massive scamming to the risks comparable to nuclear weapons, Buffett highlighted the uncertainty surrounding AI’s impact on humanity, posing questions that even the best economists struggle to answer.
“It can create an enormous amount of leisure time,” Buffett remarked, pondering the implications of increased automation. Reflecting on the insights of economist John Maynard Keynes, who foresaw exponential growth in productivity but failed to anticipate its societal implications, Buffett emphasized the need to consider how individuals will utilize newfound leisure time.
Productivity Trends and AI
Recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates a notable surge in productivity following the Covid pandemic,
Easter: Battle In The Market For The Price…
Butchers have had a hard time with the Minister of Development Kostas Skrekas in recent days and the reason is not only the “Easter Basket”, which has bargain prices even 50% cheaper than butchers.
The minister, with statements he made the day before yesterday, triggered reactions in the butcher industry, as he directly invited consumers to shop from supermarkets that have products in the “Easter Basket”.
“The goal was to enable households to get the lamb at affordable prices. Right now in the Easter basket, the lamb is sold at prices below 10 euros” said the Minister of Development and indeed it is, as can be seen from the e-katalalotis.gr application.
The butchers of Patras consider that the Ministry of Development is in this way giving a premium to the supermarket chains at the expense of the neighborhood butchers who currently sell the Easter arrowhead in a price range of 13.5 – 15 euros per kilo.
The honorary president of the Butchers’ Association of Patras and surroundings and member of the Federation’s administration, Dionysis Andreopoulos, he emphasized to “Peloponnisos” that the household basket “is carbine unfair competition”. He mentioned that in a well-known Patras supermarket,
