EURASIAN INTEGRATION MAY GIVE ARMENIA ADVANTAGE OF ADDITIONAL 5-6% GDP GROWTH
YEREVAN, January 23./ARKA/. Armenia~Rs involvement in Eurasian
integration process will give the country an opportunity of additional
5-6% growth, as compared with aggregate GDP under no integration
circumstance, director of North-South Political Science Center Russian
historian Aleksey Vlasov said during a journalism skills course at
Novosti international press center Wednesday.
This 5-6% additional growth can be achieved over five years, according
to Vlasov.
Earlier, Armenian minister of finance Vache Gabrielyan said GDP
growth is expected to reach 7-7.1% as of the end of 2012, as compared
with 2.4% planned under the budget. The 2013 budget projects a 6.2%
GDP growth.
According to Vlasov, economy should be re-equipped and an enterprise
chain should be built to ensure such an additional growth. Yet,
a year or a year and a half will be needed for adaptation, he said.
The expert stressed that opening of new jobs in all integrating
countries and distribution of resources will be the first priority
in the Eurasian integration.
The course on journalism skills held in Novosti-Armenia Agency on
January 22-26 is initiated by North-South Political Science Center,
