    ARMENIA SHOULD STRENGTHEN ITS EXPORT CAPACITY, EDB SAYS

    YEREVAN, March 6. /ARKA/. Armenia should strengthen its export
    potential, head of EDB Yerevan rep office Sergey Ignatov said in his
    interview to ARKA Agency.

    Strengthening export capacity through development of export-oriented
    and import-substituting industries should remain a priority in the
    near future, Ignatov said.

    Armenia has high export potential in agricultural industries, and
    this potential is partly used in food industry, according to Ignatov.

    As to processing industry, Armenia has still to move up the production
    chain. This will be possible if the authorities are consistent and
    if they have a comprehensive approach to development of exports.

    For facilitating export development the authorities should support
    manufacturing export companies and create a proper institutional
    environment for them (business environment, transport infrastructure,
    laws, foreign investments, and etc.). At the same time they should
    maximally reduce the blockade and facilitate the exporters' access
    to strategic markets in Russia, EU, and etc.)

    The authorities should foster export boost supporting exporters,
    creating for them an appropriate institutional environment (business
    environment, transport infrastructure, legislature, foreign
    investments, etc.) as well as reducing the transport blockade,
    facilitating the access to the strategic markets of Russia, EU, etc.).

    The Eurasian Development Bank is an international financial
    institution established by Russia and Kazakhstan in January 2006. It
    aims to promote development of market economies, sustainable economic
    growth and extension of mutual trade and economic ties in its member
    countries.

    The authorized capital stock of the bank exceeds $1.5bln, the member
    countries are Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and
    Tajikistan.

    EDB's current investment portfolio in Armenia is $79mln. The bank's
    investment portfolio, including the redeemed projects, reached $109mln
    by the end of 2012. -0-
