On Feb. 11, the Hrayr Maroukhian Foundation (HMF), with the financial
support of the Friedrich Ebert-Stiftung (FES) of Germany, presented
its research on monopolies and the effects on the domestic market of
Armenia to over 70 economists, scholars, researchers, and
representatives of relevant state bodies in Yerevan. In 2012, the HMF
had invited a working group of experts to undertake this
groundbreaking study, which included Ara Nranyan, former Member of
Parliament and economist; Hayk Hovhanissyan, economist; and Arsen
Petrosyan, economist.
A scene from the presentation
Prior to the presentation of the study, `Monopolies in Armenia,'
welcoming remarks were made by the director of the Hrayr Maroukhian
Foundation, Maria Titizian; the regional director of the
Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, Michael Weichart; and ARF Bureau member
David Lokyan. The event was moderated by Artsvik Minasyan, a National
Assembly member of the Republic of Armenia.
The HMF Working Group then presented its findings, which included a
theoretical and practical analysis of monopolies in a global context;
the current state of markets in Armenia; international best practices
implemented to regulate monopolies; and the effect of domestic
monopolies on the Armenian economy. They analyzed the activities of
the Republic of Armenia's State Commission for the Protection of
Economic Competition (SCPEC) and made specific recommendations for the
implementation of a model for tighter regulation of monopolies in the
country.
The overriding premise of the study strived to illustrate that to
achieve a competitive atmosphere in the country's domestic market,
which is essential for economic growth, Armenia must demonstrate the
political will to ensure regulation and compliance for the management
of monopolies.
