"I have never agreed with opinion that there is a failing struggle
against monopolies in Armenia," ARF Dashnaktsutyun MP and economist
Ara Nranyan told NEWS.am. He stated that Government and Central Bank
had assisted the set up of monopolies for years. Nranyan noted that
artificially supporting the AMD exchange rate, government itself
halted domestic production, encouraged import and furthered slump
in competitiveness.
"Presently everyone admits that basically import sector enjoys
the monopoly, which is true, but no one says that monopolies were
created as a result of policy implemented by RA Government and
CBA. Government constantly introduces to National Assembly bills
entailing the boosting of various economic sectors. In the context of
anti-crisis measures, government assisted one or two enterprises, not
certain sectors. It means, they tried to pull through these companies,
neglecting others," Nranyan said, adding that the mentioned moves
bring to the establishment of monopolies.
