ArmInfo. The anti-crisis program submitted by the Armenian Government
to the Parliament Nov 14 2008 has three main directions, Prime Minister
of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan said during a meeting with leaders of
political parties today.

The first direction is implementation of infrastructure projects,
second – support of companies experiencing temporary difficulties and
third support of small and medium-sized business. "We are planning a
number of measures to curb growth in prices and to increase budgetary
receipts from big companies. This will require constant external audit
of big companies, raise in fixed payments for casinos, toghening of
requirements to the issue of sale slips," Sargsyan said.

All of these measures have been developed through a dialogue with
businessmen. The government will be open to all concerned parties and
will introduce effective mechanisms of public monitoring of the
anti-crisis program. As the global economic situation will be changing
the program will need relevant revisions and the government is ready to
accept new proposals and constructive remarks.
