13:21 | December 23,2014 | Economy
Chairman of the Republican Union of Employers Gagik Makaryan says
2014 aroused both positive and negative moods for Armenians.'resulted
in changes.'
On the other hand, Gagik Makaryan singled out negative phenomena that
happened in the passing year.
"We have been unable to reduce the level of poverty and unemployment.
Export volumes have declined sharply, which in turn, affected
exporters. Many businessmen who were exporting canned products stopped
their business. There has been drastic decline in transfers and many
other factors the consequences of which will be felt in the coming
year," he said.
Gagik Makaryan says the existing force majeure situation showed that
the government lacks skillful economists.
"Everyone in the cabinet is a good financier but not an economist.
None of them has economic and analytical abilities. The ruling faction
in parliament does not have good economists either. The economists
who can really make deep economic analyzes are called opposition.
Mr Makaryan says to overcome the force majeure situation the government
should consolidate its economic team, otherwise, the country will
suffer losses in its foreign policy as well.
Despite all these negative factors, the Chairman of the Republican
Union of Employers says the volumes of foreign investments have
increased in Armenia.
Speaking about the currency rate fluctuations, Mr Makaryan said the
Russian rubble will remain in agony in next six months.
