He said that the four-percent economic growth recorded in Jan-July 2010 was impacted by considerable decline in agriculture.

Industry showed 11.4% growth. Services sector grew 6.1%. Mining, metallurgy, jewellery, engineering tools, instrument engineering and chemical industries reached 20% growth.

This shows substantial changes in GDP, Sargsyan said.

“The growing share of services in GDP enlarges tax receipts,” the premier said. “The tax ratio to GDP has improved over the seven months.”

It means the country will be able to retain macroeconomic stability and lower the ratio of the budget deficit to GDP.

According to statistical reports, GDP grew 4% in Jan-July 2009, compared with the same period a year before, to AMD 1586.5 billion ($4.3 billion).
