ArmInfo.A political revolution took place in the country after the citizens of Armenia changed their political behavior, therefore, an economic revolution will occur when our compatriots change their economic behavior. On February 18, during a briefing in the Armenian parliament, the Deputy Speaker from the My Step bloc Lena Nazaryan stated.
She noted that the government will do everything possible to create the most comfortable and favorable conditions for the economic revolution for the people of Armenia. "We will do everything in our power so that the citizens of Armenia have all the prerequisites for the economic revolution, and then, the ball is in your court", she stated.
In turn, Mikayel Melkumyan, a MP from the Prosperous Armenia faction, noted that there should be more investments in the country to carry out the economic revolution.
"We all know that the economic revolution implies big changes that must be carried out at all levels. This is a rather long and complicated process. However, the leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan will make every effort to become a bridge between investors and the government. We will do everything possible to implement various programs, however, the government should also give investors certain guarantees, "Melkumyan said.
The MP also stated that, on the whole, difficulties related to expensive credit resources are hindering the Armenian economy, because of this, the business cannot attract affordable loans. "I want to emphasize once again that the volume of investments, which is fixed in the government's program, is unsatisfactory. After all, to bring investments from 15.5% to 23% of GDP means that the Armenian authorities will not even reach the 2008 level of 41%," the MP said.
He also said that investment of $ 120 million a year is insignificant and will not solve the problem. And, of course, it is not enough if annual economic growth will vary within 7,5%. "In order for people to feel the difference, the economic effect, we need investments in the amount of $ 2.5- $ 3 billion, no less," concluded Melkumyan.
