Armenia's Economic Pulse

This fuels your statement with the fact that our currency is one of the best in the region.

They could create an "Armenian Development Bank" then print about a billion dollars worth of Drams to deposit into the Bank. They can then use that amount to finance all the solar, wind, highway they need.

In fact, for roads, hydropower, and irrigation, these retards are spending money on! Just create a regiment similar to US Army Corps of Engineers and use these draftees to build all the roads in Armenia.

It's true. It's hard to believe they're looking for outside money for a lot of these infrastructure projects, seeing how Armenia has a central bank and its own currency.

Theyre re looking for dollars to launder their dirty ass money.

Its probably because they have deep pockets.

The conventional meaning of having deep pockets implies not being starved of finance to success,

In Armenia it means how much appetite they have to squirrel away through theft, in their "pockets".

Is it really a surprise? They constantly complain that there really is no money, but in reality there is no operational experience in the country. They don't know how to operate a proper transit system, and I am not really sure that your average Hayastansi even would drive the bus.

There should be more like 250 busses somewhere.



New Yerevan Buses Mostly Unused

https://www.azatutyun.am/a/24625774.html

Most of about 250 commuter buses donated by China to Armenia early this year are still standing idle because of what municipal authorities in Yerevan described on Monday as a shortage of qualified drivers.

The brand new buses were unveiled in Yerevan’s main Republic Square in late March during a high-profile ceremony attended by President Serzh Sarkisian. The Chinese government donation was touted then as a major boost to a modernization of the city’s public transportation system promised by the municipal administration....

Disgraceful, where the hell are the other 90 of these? I only see maybe 10 in Yerevan? Whats the point of keeping them? And no, I rarely see any big taxi service around Armenia, you can literally buy a taxi estimator and a taxi sign and bam, your a taxi driver now doesn't matter if your disabled stupid or a criminal, you can be a taxi driver.

In a country like Armenia the oligarchs have too much power. They might see it as a threat to their taxi services.

I do know that they have horrible transit planning, it wouldn't be surprising if they don't know what they're doing.

The authorities can't even combat road traffic accidents. Unbelievable.

What happened to the 100 busses China donated to Yerevan.

The last response from the authorities was that they are in store. Excuse, they cannot recruit drivers !!!

.

Or maybe they're pulling sh*t out of their a** because the one thing Armenia has is unemployment and a load of marshrutka drivers, why not replace those marshrutka drivers with those "100 hundred Chinese buses" truth is, they're lying out of their a**, either China never gave them all of the buses or the government should apologise to the Armenian population for misinformation.

I just saw a lot of those buses, but now I'm left confused, why are they not using them?! That's like buying loads of chocolate all for yourself but never eating it and instead eat those cheap chocolate bars where you should have thrown them out.
