    ROGER ROBINSON: NEW GAS TARIFFS WILL HAVE NO AWFUL
    IMPACT

    Roger Robinson expressed this opinion in response to
    the question put by the journalists at yesterday~Rs
    press conference. He said that the World Bank experts
    haven~Rt completed researches on the future impact of
    the new gas tariffs on the Armenian economy yet. He
    added that the negotiations of RA Government with the
    Russian side of the abovementioned issue haven~Rt
    completed either. At the same time, he expressed the
    opinion that certainly, the increase in tariffs for
    gas will have some impact on the economy of Armenia,
    but that will not be that awful as some people expect.

    Naturally, it will have negative impact on socially
    insecure class and the prices for some goods. The rise
    in tariffs will not have big impact on the industrial
    sector, as the industrial companies will apply
    economical energy regimes.

    Robinson also stated that the rise in gas tariffs
    would have no impact on the prices for imported goods,
    either.
