ArmInfo. The competitiveness of small countries is built on intelligent digital solutions, effective risk management, and strong partnerships between the state and business. This was stated by Eduard Hakobyan, Chairman of the RA State Revenue Committee, during a panel discussion entitled "Evolving Geoeconomic Realities: Armenia's Economic Sustainability," organized by the Yerevan School of Political Studies.
According to him, interesting discussions were held on Armenia's economic sustainability in the changing global economy, export diversification, trade facilitation, customs risk management, and the creation of a favorable environment for businesses entering new markets. The State Revenue Committee has made significant contributions to these areas, striving to develop a modern customs and logistics infrastructure, user-friendly digital platforms for exporters and importers, intelligent customs control, integrated data exchange with various countries, and systems for mutual recognition of law-abiding exporters. I am convinced that the competitiveness of a small state is built on intelligent digital solutions, effective risk management, and strong partnerships between the state and business. Our goal is for customs officers to become analysts and risk managers using modern digital technologies, and for the customs service to become a modern institution that is fast, transparent, and conducive to the development of foreign trade. Such professional discussions are an important platform for exchanging experiences, generating new ideas, and finding joint solutions aimed at increasing Armenia's economic competitiveness.
