YEREVAN, JUNE 12, ARMENPRESS. A big inflow of foreign direct investments was recorded last year in Armenia, comprising 5,1% of the GDP, Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan told lawmakers at the Financial-Credit and Budgetary Affairs Committee during debates on approving the 2022 state budget report.

“We have a big inflow of foreign direct investments, which comprised 5,1% of the GDP. This is a very high indicator compared to the past years,” the minister said.

The capital accumulation indicator is also very high, he added, explaining that businesses in Armenia have invested their income in developing their own capital capacities. “We are sure that we will notice in the first years the positive impact of these investments on the potential of our economy,” Hovhannisyan added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
