In an interview with Public TV, the Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan commented on the fact that the Minister of Finance’s forecast for economic growth in 2021 is 4.8%, while he predicted that there would be double-digit economic growth.

“I will not forgive myself if double-digit economic growth is not achieved next year. The Ministry of Finance always puts a more conservative scenario in the budget, while the Ministry of Economy always puts more aggressive plans. This is normal, as the plans of the sales department and the financial department in ordinary companies may be different, this is the same case. We have more ambitious plans, we will try to implement them,” he said.

He mentioned that there are different scenarios – optimistic, basic, pessimistic, and different scenarios can work ․

“My and my team’s plan is double-digit economic growth, it has not changed,” Kerobyan said.
