ArmInfo. In the energy sector of Armenia, the construction, production and export of cold teas, various processing industries, investment is expected to flow. the chairman of the Republican Union of Employers of Armenia, economist Gagik Makaryan announced at a press conference on May 11.
He noted that investors are representatives of the Diaspora, as well as citizens of Iran, the Dominican Republic and a number of European countries who requested appropriate support, from registration to assistance in case of problems. Makaryan noted that the partners expect the formation of the government, then immediately start implementing investment projects. In particular, representatives of the Diaspora from Switzerland, with whom the economist will hold a meeting today, intend to invest in energy and engineering. According to the head of the Union, due to the changes that have occurred in Armenia, investors are inspired by the expected eradication of monopolies, artificial pressure, jamming and inspections, which is very important.
Speaking about the influence of the people's movement on the economy, Makaryan said that within 5 days, when not many worked, the effect on GDP was about 2%. "Therefore, we could adhere to the opinion that the prerequisites for reducing GDP were formed. However, if you think that productivity will increase, businesses will start to work better, many will come out of the shadows, investments will start, companies will begin to develop their activity more confidently, then I believe that in the short term it is possible to fill this gap. Especially, if we take into account the fact that large investment flows are expected in the Armenian economy," he said.
