Policy of "great budget" enables authorities to appropriate the whole economy

PanARMENIAN.Net - When the system of centralized economic administration was introduced in summer of 2007, I made a forecast for the coming two years. The single purpose of passing to new economic system was filling the budget, which was, in my opinion, a great mistake, Andranik Tevanyan, chairman of the "Politeconomy" research center said.



According to him, adopting the policy of "big budget", authorities set a goal to appropriate the whole economy of the country. Adding to their armoury the slogan of the struggle with shadow economy, authorities have started to implement the policy of re-allocation of the property.



"Representatives of small and medium business became first victims of the system of centralized economic administration," he stressed.



Andranik Tevanyan also stressed, that nobody cannot say exactly, how the budget means are distributed, and even parliamentary deputies are not aware of whole information of state procurements. "Authorities think that after they appropriate the whole economy of the country, the political field will also appear in their pocket," Mr. Tevanyan said.
