Decision-Making: Strategies, Policies and Plans
Armenia continues to concentrate on socio-economic reforms and the stabilization of the economy.

Programmes and Projects
Programmes for the economic development of the country are aimed at the acquisition of new markets for production, enhanced efficiency in the activities of industrial enterprises, the resolution of the investment crisis, increased exports, finding substitutes for imported raw materials, etc.
Status
The reforms carried out recently have led mainly to the macroeconomic stabilization of the Republic. Over the past year the gross national product increased 6 per cent over that for the same period the previous year. The introduction of a State treasury system has led to improved budget discipline in the Republic and to greater expediency and effectiveness in the use of State budget resources. Budget planning takes social considerations into account.
In 1996 reforms continued in the energy sector. As a result, progress has now been made not only in the supply of electricity but also in improving the regularity of payments for electricity.
Challenges
To continue to develop, Armenia will need to concentrate on the training of personnel, the adoption of preferential financial agreements, the dissemination of information and structural legal changes.
