The "Economics and values" research center has conducted a survey
among 1 000 citizens and 60 businessmen to find out how they feel
the negative impulses of the global financial-economic crisis.
Director of the research center Manuk Hergnyan presented the results
of the survey to reporters today. According to the poll, 70% of the
population has already felt the negative influence of the crisis on
its own incomes. The picture is the same in the capital and marzes.
Businessmen also welcomed the year 2009 with a fall in revenues.
What are the citizens and businessmen going to do to mitigate the
influence of the crisis? It turns out that 80% of the households
intend to purchase cheaper goods. Businessmen intend to postpone the
investments, cut the number of employees and reduce the salaries. Two
percent of the respondent is going to suspend their activity.
