Sergey Kapinos: SME to promote Armenia's economic development in 2010
Armenia should intensively develop small and medium businesses, according to Sergey Kapinos, Head of OSCE Office in Yerevan.

"We have proposed the Armenian government to make SME development the mainstream of its economic policy," he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "SME can promote the country's economic development in 2010 and the OSCE Office in Yerevan is willing to contribute to the process."

The Armenian government approved Thursday the program of state support of SME for 2010.

On December 23, 2009, Yerevan hosted the official presentation of Simplified Guidebook for Armenian Businessmen, which was compiled by the OSCE Office in Yerevan, Executive Director of Small and Medium Entrepreneurship Development National Center (SME DNC) and the Bookkeeping Centre and RA Ministry of Economy.
