efficiency and security in the rapidly changing world, preservation
of spiritual and cultural values, and human freedoms.
In presenting the program, RA Premier Tigran Sargssyan presented
stressed that the Government will work to ensure high rates of
macroeconomic stability and economic growth.
"The Government's role in economy will be essential, however,
restricted to creating a favourable environment for the private
sector," the Premier said.
The government says it will try to achieve an ambitious goal of making
Armenia a regional centre of business and investments.
The program largely focuses on poverty reduction issues as well.
"The shortest way to solve the problem of poverty is to make needy
citizens actively involved in the country's economic and political
life," Sargssyan said.
Тhe Government will keep focus on the problem highlighted by the
former Government, namely, the gap between the average pensions
and average wages, which led to a tangible gap between the living
standards of employed citizens and pensioners.
The new Government will also focus on the development of a national
system of environmental protection, people's access to cultural
resources and aviation modernization.
