Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan chaired a consultative meeting, which focused on the mechanisms and indicators for evaluation of the activities of ministries, government agencies and Marz governors. The Prime Minister emphasized that a key assessment indicator will be the amount of investment, both internal and external.
“You have to submit by this yearend concrete proposals regarding the criteria to assess your performance, which shall specify the annual investment program,” Karen Karapetyan said. Prioritizing the availability of investment indicators in assessing the government agencies’ performance, the Premier noted that the matter should be given a systemic approach.
“You need to hold regular meetings with investors, show a business approach in order to improve the investment climate. We have potential investors who ought to be encouraged and get involved in different projects,” the Head of Government stressed.
The Prime Minister noted that each Marz will have its individual passport featuring its characteristics, assets and development trends. Karen Karapetyan underscored that the activities of regional administrations should be based on the benchmarks stipulated in the passport.
