Armenia's Economic Pulse

[DieHard69]

Fake news. Armenia was already part of thr CIS and would have the same benefits economically had it not entered the EEU. Kind of hoping this entire Russian experiment blows up in their imperialist faces.

Agreed.

1/3rd of the entire population is living in Yerevan.

Armenia is not a cooking recipe, 1/3 of this and 1/3 of that.

You have to look at the country as a totality.

Equally important look at the population and economy of the country as a totality.

Describing Yerevan as vibrant economically is a bit like describing the diaspora as vibrant.
The reality is the old generation(s) have assimilated and replaced by the new migrants who naturally have links with their identity.

The regions being ignored, people leave for the metropolis. the city may look vibrant.

The reality is once the region's population has uprooted itself in seeking a better life
it will not find it difficult to leave yet again its new found "place of economic activity" since it has lost/ broken its bond with his original birthplace.

ARMINFO News Agency, Armenia July 15, 2017 Saturday Aram Safaryan sees positive economic trends in EAEU member states YEREVAN, JULY 15, ARMENPRESS. According to the statistics of January-May 2017, there are positive economic trends in the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Aram Safaryan – chairman of ‘Integration and Development’ NGO, coordinator of Eurasian expert club, told a press conference in Armenpress while presenting Armenia’s economic figures in the first 5 months of 2017 in the context of membership to the EAEU. Safaryan said the President of the Russian Central Bank announced that Russia enters new stage of economic development and a good year is predicted for Russia. “Here it is important to note that major rating organizations have revised the figures for Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia and promised new growth rates. According to those figures, compared to what has been predicted previously, Armenia can record from 2.5 up to 3, even up to 3.4 economic development rate within the course of the year. This is quite high figure”, Aram Safaryan said, adding that Armenia completed last year with 0.2% economic growth rate. He said Armenia’s economy can develop at higher rates in 2018. Aram Safaryan stated that the highest rate ensuring economic growth is in export field and here already a double-digit economic growth has been recorded within five months, moreover, through the export of ready-made products. “We can solve employment, social and other issues in our country only through increase and export of the volume of ready-made product. We are optimistic over the development of spheres which were previously exhausted – textile, footwear production, which seemed were hopeless. However, we see that these fields received a chance to develop under the EAEU”, he stated. He also attached importance to the activeness registered in tourism field, stating that the number of Russian tourists visiting Armenia has increased. It is expected this trend will continue in future. According to Safaryan, as the overall expectations are positive, here the issues on how the tax, customs agencies, state structures, credit organizations and banks will work become important, as well as on how the political figures will negotiate on increasing the opportunities and etc. The development of upcoming years will greatly depend on this. He added that Armenia doesn’t take part in procurement market since the public sector doesn’t cooperate with the private sector to submit competitive proposals with famous Russian standards. The other countries have serious lobbying opportunities. The culture of participating in the procurement process in another country has not yet been formed in Armenia, and, according to Safaryan, active work and cooperation at various directions are necessary.

The heart and soul of our people is outside Yerevan.

We are not a one city state.

If we can store ( more like hide ) 250 busses for five years ...... that's in Yerevan.

.I was not sure whwere to put this link.

First 4 minutes definitely should be eye opening .

Considering how oligarchs are working out ways robbing the people and the country.

Time all of us to wake up and wake our oligarchs and leadership.

.

This was a interesting watch in many ways but notice how in the end it is just simply trying to make China look bad while in reality it is achieving some great things and improving the lives of people who need it the most. This source obviously has a political agenda and is not even trying to hide it. Beware of drawing conclusions based on such sources.
