The government of Armenia puts an end to speculations about pressures on businessmen. The authorities guarantee unprecedented support, demanding absolute fiscal discipline in return.
During the government session held on March 19, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan categorically denied rumors circulating on social networks and in letters that the state has started a campaign to intimidate the private sector. The head of the government emphasized that there is no desire or purpose to terrorize the economy.
On the contrary, the state implements incentive programs worth tens of billions, thanks to which almost every company today benefits from preferential loans or state support for equipment modernization. According to the Prime Minister, this concept of transparent cooperation was discussed during a workshop with businessmen held in Jermuk last year, which led to relevant legislative changes. In return for this extensive support, the state expects only strict compliance from the business.
Pashinyan emphasized that they do not demand a single penny more, but they will not tolerate a single penny less tax payment. The Prime Minister concluded his speech with an assurance, officially declaring tax terror closed and, more importantly, not declaring it open.
