ArmInfo.  The Armenian economy loses  about $ 40 million a day, and only 80 billion drams ($ 170 million)  was poured into the country's economy. MP from the Prosperous Armenia  Partry (PAP), economist Mikayel Melkumyan, stated this during  briefings. The MP noted that it will be extremely difficult to  restore this difference. Melkumyan did not explain, meanwhile, where  did he get such an assessment.

<Difficulties are also associated with the lack of clear data on the  number of new jobs, as well as in what part of the staff was removed  from the shadows. However, the situation would not have been so  depressing if foreign investments flowing into our country had not  been reduced>, Melkumyan noted.

It should be noted that foreign direct investment in the Armenian  economy has been declining for 5 consecutive years. According to  foreign experts, despite the country's high potential, FDI inflows to  GDP in 2019 were at 2%, which is the average for the last five years.
