If Khachatur Sukiasyan, member of the CP, declares that Armenia’s economy is in a very good condition, perhaps its businesses have flourished and developed during this time, have they entered new monopoly sectors? maybe there is a double-digit development of the economy, but the RA economy has definitely not experienced development. We have not even been able to recover the losses, said economist Suren Parsyan in a conversation with Aysor.am reporter.
“The government had indicated that it should close 2021 with 6.5 percent economic growth, but it is obvious that we will not come close to 6.5 percent economic growth. The data for December 2021 are not summarized, but the trends prove it.
Secondly, in 2020, we had a 7.4 percent economic decline. The world average was 3.4 percent, that is, our rate of decline was about 2.5 times faster. In case of a possible 6 percent economic growth in 2021, even we will not be able to recover the loss of 2020. In other words, we have not even reached the indicators of 2019 yet. This is purely official statistics.
So how can we talk about economic growth or development without reaching the index of 2019?” asked Suren Parsyan.
The economist stressed that by talking about the very good state of the economy, Khachatur Sukiasyan is rather trying to create positive expectations among the public, as RA Economy Minister Vahan Kerobyan tried with his statements some time ago.
Let’s remind that according to Khachatur Sukiasyan, RA economy is in a very good condition today.
“Banks have already given more than 9 billion dollars in loans, the bank is the lifeblood of the economy, today the RA economy is in a very good condition, the banks also finance various branches, but one of the number one demands of money laundering is cashless transactions,” he said in the National Assembly today. was the deputy of the CP.
