YEREVAN.- The GDP growth will make about 5% in Armenia in a year interval, Economy Minister Tigran Davtyan told journalists on Friday.  The 2011 state budget envisages 4.6% GDP growth in Armenia.

According to Davtyan, economic growth has been largely achieved through the real sector of economy. Thus, industrial growth will make 12-13%, exports will increase by 20-25%, growth in tourism and agriculture is registered.

“Only the construction rate is reducing. I believe it is not a negative phenomenon, since it leads to a smoothing of GDP imbalance,” said Davtyan.

He also expressed assertion that the anti-crisis measures in Europe and the U.S. will yield results and it will be possible to avoid the second wave of the global crisis.
