Economy Ministry to support IT companies affected by dram  appreciation

ArmInfo.The Ministry of Economy is preparing a program for IT companies operating in Armenia, which will be aimed at overcoming the difficulties associated with  the appreciation of the dram. Minister of Economy of Armenia Vahan  Kerobyan stated this during an interview with the Public Television  of Armenia.

"Two months ago we put into circulation a bill that is being  discussed very intensively. I think that by the end of this week the  program will be adopted," he said.

In the long term, the Ministry sees a solution to the problem in the  provision of tax incentives. However, taxes, according to Kerobyan,  are not the only problem. In this regard, he recalled the developed  action program, which consists of 35 steps, some of which have  already been implemented. The minister noted that the ultimate goal  of such a program is to transform Yerevan into a city that would be  an attractive place to live for creative people involved in  technology and innovation.
