Abstract
In Armenia, more effective accumulation,
together with greater competition and better connectivity
with the rest of the world, will increase pressures on
firms to compete and innovate and will thus reinvigorate job
creation. In order to more effectively channel savings into
investment in those industrial sectors with the best
potential for growth and employment creation, a more
sophisticated financial system is required. A recently
released World Bank report1 finds that Armenias State
Commission for the Protection of Competition (SCPEC) needs
to be given better tools to carry out its work, and it also
needs to shift its focus from price levels to more
vigorously pursuing anticompetitive conduct. A
liberalization of aviation would boost growth and job
creation by better connecting people, ideas, and markets.
