Economy

Second republic conference on “Small and medium business in Armenia” was somewhat like praise to the present Authorities .

The measure was arranged in the Reception House of Armenian Government /any businessman, displeased with the manner of working of the management-in-office can hardly rent premises like this/. Armenian high rankers, headed by Armenian PM, representatives of Ministries, Super Departments and institutions of local government were invited to the conference . The small and medium businessmen present were those successfully spreading activity under difficult conditions.

President Robert Kocharyan had made a message to the participants of conference. But he left for Ararat Province. His message read Minister of Trade and Economic Development instead. He assured the businessmen “they are the very spine of the country economy” .

To prove what he said, Minister read out a growth figure - small and medium business provides 30 % of Inner Gross Output of the country . According to those present, 3 factors are needed to improve the sphere under discussion - improvement of legislation, dialogue of Government and businessmen, joining of businessmen .

Karen Chshmarityan thinks first 2 factors are being implemented at the moment. “Armenian Authorities have taken their first step over improvement of legislation. And dialogue with Authorities is reality” .

Though the participants of conference were satisfied with the conditions set by Authorities for them, they will try to overcome the obstacles in the field .
