ArmInfo. Every new family in Armenia will have an opportunity to buy a
flat and a car, says the electoral program of presidential contender,
Prime Minister of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan that was officially made
public on Tuesday.

The program says the second-generation reforms in Armenia are the most
important task of the country. Reforms will create the next conditions
for development of business and investments. ‘To boost investments and
active business, the tax and customs systems in the country must become
competitive in the international arena. The country must not create
obstacles to establishment and development of business. It must create
equal conditions for business development and risk reduction. We will
support all the new Armenian companies meeting international
requirements and promote the rapidly growing small and medium-size
enterprises. The country will stimulate introduction of corporate
system of management in the real sector. Corporate management system
will be introduced at enterprises with government stakes. The country
will always boost the transparently operating companies to raise the
public trust in business. ‘

The program says structural reforms and modernization of
infrastructures must remain in the focus of state attention. Under the
second-generation reforms, a new quality of industrial policy based on
innovations is proposed. In addition, the program proposes agriculture
industrialization and full activation of the
production-processing-market network, which will allow increasing
incomes in the agricultural sphere.

The financial system of Armenia has a real potential for becoming the
financial center in the region. ‘The entry of Nordic OMX to Armenia is
a bright evidence of it. We will continue deepening our policy of
financial mediation. Financial services will be available throughout
Armenia. Every new family will have an opportunity to buy a flat and a
car. Insurance companies and pension funds will create preconditions
for savings. No one must remain in Armenia without life and property
insurance,’ the electoral campaign of Serge Sargsyan says.
