RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan called a consultative meeting to
discuss a jewelry- and diamond processing industry-related agenda. In
attendance were top executives from this branch of economy, as well
as the representatives of concerned ministries and agencies.
According to the Prime Minister and sector representatives, the
global turmoil is the chief reason behind the problems faced in our
country. Those few tax privileges offered to the operators of this
sector can no longer ensure sustained development in this area.
"This sector enjoys quite serious output capacity in Armenia inclusive
of highly skilled labor. As formerly we used to have numerous jobs
in this area, we are now concerned about the future of this branch
of economy," Tigran Sargsyan said by stressing that the existing
bottlenecks inclusive of the problem of those 2 thousand workers
employed in 45 line enterprises can be tackled by means of joint
endeavors. We can have some progress as early as in 2009, and this
is the main target of this meeting.
In addition to providing an in-depth analysis of the international
markets, RA Minister of Economy Nerces Yeritzyan outlined the overall
state of affaires in Armenia and came up with a set of proposals
aimed =0 D at mitigating the negative impact of the global financial
and economic crisis.
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Yeritzyan was told to join the Minister
of Finance and the Head of State Revenue Committee by the Government
in an effort to sum up the package of proposals discussed during the
meeting and submit a well-scheduled action plan within two days' time.
