YEREVAN. – External conjuncture prevents high economic growth in Armenia.
Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan on Thursday stated the above-said in the National Assembly, as he introduced the new government program.
In his words, the understanding of “economic growth” needs to be reviewed, and economic competition needs to be followed.
“A demand is put before the government: to make a clear diagnosis of the economic situation; to propose both short- and long-term strategic plans,” said Karapetyan.
He added that, to seek solutions to these problems, the government will set up a strategic research center, which will include professionals also from the Armenian diaspora.
