ArmInfo. Construction sector was and remains one of the most important branch of Armenian economy, Armenian Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan stated during the solemn ceremony dedicated to the Construction Day on August 11.

According to the Prime Minister, the activation of the construction sector brings a multiplier effect to the economy. "If the construction is actively developing, other spheres are developing, for any state the development of the urban development sector has a multiplier effect, having a positive impact on the development of other areas of the country's economy." The state in which the construction sector develops is going through a period of progress. Our ancestors left us an exceptional heritage, which we are proud of, presenting it to the world and generations. It is remarkable that the Armenian builders today are developing the experience they have received from great masters and tradition ii, building strong and beautiful building with a modern-day application of innovative solutions and technologies ", said Karen Karapetyan.

According to the Prime Minister, despite the statistics that the construction sector is experiencing hard times in Armenia, one thins is obvious: Armenian builder has always built and will build. It so happened that the decline in the construction sector fell on a very difficult period for the country. Karen Karapetyan stressed that at the present time the government is making efforts to implement investment programs in the construction sector in order to activate urban development. "There are already numerous projects in the capital and in the regions, and in this context, the statistics we are currently distributing are very interesting and encouraging, and we are ready to create additional conditions for the development of the economy and for attracting investments, I would like to record, That the tendencies of activation are observed in the construction sector and we are confident that we will make progress in speeding up the growth of the sphere, "the Armenian government head said. He added that for the first six months of this year, according to statistics, there is a decline in two areas - construction and agriculture. "According to our forecasts, by October this year in the construction sector there will be such indicators that will supplement the pace of the last year, and by the end of 2017 there will be growth," Karen Karapetyan said, adding that last month there were tendencies to growth. "We are sure that we are on the right track," head of Armenian Government said.
