YEREVAN, October 11. /ARKA/. Analytical center “Alternative” is going to publish a survey on the potential of Armenian economy in one-two months, said Director of the Center, Doctor of Economic Sciences Tatul Manaseryan answering the questions of ARKA News Agency.

“Armenian economy has great resources. It is not just about Armenia, but also on the relative merits of all Armenians”, he said in the press-conference on Tuesday.

Noting the existing not large positive advancement in economy, Manaseryan said that it is incomparable with what can be achieved under the condition of systemized use of available resources.

He did not publicize his opinion in details, explaining that the center “Alternative” is preparing a large survey on this issue which will be submitted to the society in some months.

A large potential of Armenian economy is concentrated in “shadow”. “In this sense, tax policy should pay attention not only to tax administration. It would also consider a flexible fiscal policy, the use of different taxes in different areas”, he said suggesting the border areas to establish a zero tax rate and to declare them free zones.

He is confident that further progress of the country will depend on the efficiency of the policy targeted at the reduction of shadow economy not only in the issue of immunity of overcoming crisis but also in the context of achieving long-term goals.

“With such a high weighted average of “shadow” in the Armenian economy we can not set itself a serious purpose and implement them. They would not be realistic, as for this purpose resources are needed. --0--
