/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A legislation on pension reform will be submitted
to the National Assembly till the end of the year.

"It’s one of the most complicated reforms, preparation of which
took three years of work with international specialists," RA Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan said during presentation of the report of
Armenia’s competitiveness.

"Reforms in healthcare and education sectors are also envisaged,"
he said.

"Anti-corruption reform is a constituent of national competitiveness. A
new anti-corruption program has been already developed and will be
submitted to the parliament in the near future."

However, the PM Sargsyan remarked that the crisis hampered the reform
process in Armenia and new incentive is needed to revive it.
