RA Economy Minister Vahan Kerobyan submitted his resignation.
“Dear residents of the Republic of Armenia.
It turned out that I will no longer serve you as the Minister of Economy. During these more than 3 years, I have worked with unwavering devotion, filled with love for every resident of Armenia. I worked at least six days a week, on average from 8 am to 9 pm, for three years with a total of 15-16 used vacation days. I lived every day of my work with the dominant urge to have a strong Armenia the day before. I was determined, honest and devoted to the motherland.
2020 compared to 2023 Armenia’s GDP increased by about 100% in US dollars, and by about 50% in AMD. During this period, Armenia rose from 112th place to 86th place in terms of GDP per capita. We surpassed Azerbaijan, Belarus and many other countries with this index for the first time. The budgeted programs of the Ministry of Economy increased from 12.5 billion drams in 2019 to 91 billion drams for 2024. Labor productivity, the volume of investments, and the foreign trade turnover of Armenia have increased sharply.
When I assumed the position of minister on November 20, 2020, there was a high probability that I would stay there for a few days or months. the possibility of a change of power was very high. During this period, due to many disagreements, I wanted to leave this job many times, but I subordinated myself to maximize the value of my service to my country.
I thank the Prime Minister for this opportunity to serve my country.
With love,” Kerobyan wrote on his Facebook page.
