YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 4, NOYAN TAPAN. When presenting the annual report
of the RA ministry of economy to the prime minister Tigran Sargsyan
on February 4, the minister Nerses Yeritsian said that the Program
of Sustainable Development of the RA has already been approved and
the plan of measures envisaged by the program is at the final stage
of development.
According to the minister, the programs to be implemented in the next
3-4 years within the frame of cooperation with the World Bank have
been specified, and a package of priority programs has been formed,
for the implementation of which credit bids of over a billion dollars
were submitted to the WB. With the aim of improving the business
environment, in 2008 the concept of the national project "Excellency
Center" on Armenia's business and investment environment was developed
and then adopted by the government.
The project envisages measures in ten main directions, and their
implementation has already started.
Besides, the ministry has submitted to the government a program of
assistance for the installation of a Cyclone-30 isotope producing unit
at Yerevan Physics Institute after Alikhanian and for the creation
of a Nuclear Medicine Center in Armenia. The use of accelerators in
medicine and allied spheres will provide Armenia with an opportunity
to become a regional center of nuclear medicine.
N. Yeritsian underlined the necessity "to attract good experts" for
the implementation of the ministry's programs. In this connection
the prime minister said that the other ministries and departments
also have a need for qualified experts. In his words, the technical
assiastance provided by the World Bank should be used for the
formation and improvement of professional skills of the personnel,
and the programs being worked out in this direction should be in
keeping with the system of civil servants.
