BOOSTING KEY SECTORS OF THE ARMENIAN ECONOMY WITH HELP FROM EU-SUPPORTED PROJECT

Armenian government and private sector representatives met with
international experts in Yerevan yesterday as part of an OECD Eurasia
Competitiveness Programme project on enhancing the competitiveness
of key sectors of the Armenian economy. The project is implemented
with the financial assistance of the SME Panel of the European Union
Eastern Partnership.
During 2014, two working groups will formulate policy recommendations
to promote exports by Armenian agribusiness SMEs and to develop
construction material SMEs by establishing a supportive investment
climate for multinational construction materials firms.
Challenges already identified in the agribusiness value chain
include fragmentation of agricultural production, weak links between
agricultural producers and food processors, and difficult access to
global markets. Issues facing potential construction materials industry
investors include the cyclic nature of the local construction sector,
high transport costs, and the fit with available natural resources.
A high-level Armenian delegation will present the resulting
sector-specific recommendations at the OECD Eurasia Competitiveness
Roundtable during the week of 24 November 2014 in Paris. The Roundtable
will bring together high-level representatives from across the Eurasia
region and OECD member countries. (EU Neighbourhood Info)
