conference titled "Money Transfers in the CIS: New perspectives of
development, new trends and technologies."
Greeting the participants on behalf of the Armenian Government, the

to look into future, trying to reveal all possible challenges and
risks of the sphere. The conference is of great importance from this
viewpoint, as your experience and knowledge will allow to determine
the primary directions of development of money transfers."
According to the Prime Minister, today's scientific-technical
developments - new technologies, electronic systems - are linked
to this sphere. Therefore, the Armenian Government attaches great
importance to the development of information systems in the country,
and the development of communication, in general.
"We have registered serious progress in the sphere over the past
years and we are the leader in the region with regard to the number
of Internet users, the price of Internet and Internet coverage in
the republic. We'll implement new reforms in the future that will
have a serious influence on the development of money transfers,"
the Prime Minister stated.
Speaking about the banking sector of Armenia, Tigran Sargsyan said:

banking sector."
The conference has brought together heads of largest banks from the
Russian Federation, CIS, Georgia, Baltic States, representatives of
international organizations, banking associations and payment systems.
