IMF Deputy Managing Director Murilo Portugal pointed out the serious work carried out in Armenia. According to him, the Armenian economy seems to be recovering after the crisis, which has been possible due to emergency monetary and tax measures.

Mr. Portugal also pointed out that the Armenian economy is still facing challenges, such as unstable recovery and external vulnerability.

He pointed out satisfactory capitalization of the Armenian financial sector and the authorities’ work at anti-crisis measures. Further reforms are of importance for stability in case of risks.
