Last year's economic tendencies also worked this year, economist
Tatul Manaseryan told reporters in Yerevan, summing up the year 2012.
According to him, there were great expectations this year, especially
as Armenia held parliamentary elections and presidential elections
are ahead. That is why little investments were made in the Armenian
economy, which to some extent affected all branches of economy.
Depreciation of Armenian dram in April is among negative tendencies,
the expert said, which was, however, followed by its appreciation in
July. Double-digit agricultural growth is among positive tendencies,
Manaseryan said.
"We should note that double-digit growth was recorded in energy
industry in the first months of 2012; with some exceptions, export
dominated import," he noted, adding that positive tendencies in economy
are due to efficient use of financial, industrial and human factors.
Mr Manaseryan expressed his concerns about the high level of
unemployment and migration in the country.
To resolve these problems, the economist recommended that the existing
resources should be used more efficiently and new programs should
be implemented.
"If we continue moving slowly, we will fall behind the dynamic
development in the post-critical period," the expert concluded.
