Government Reports Further Rise In Foreign Investment

By Shakeh Avoyan

Foreign direct investment in the Armenian economy rose by 11.6 percent
to almost $140 million in the first half of this year mainly due to the
partial liberalization of the country's mobile phone sector, a senior
official said on Tuesday.

Deputy Minister of Trade and Economic Development Tigran Davtian told
RFE/RL that the start of competition between ArmenTel, the Greek-owned
national telecommunications operator, and the Lebanese-owned start-up
called VivaCell translated into `tens of millions of dollars' in capital
investments.

`There are serious and rapid investments that are being made in the
telecommunications sphere,' he said. `Competition has certainly had a
positive impact on it.'

According to Davtian's ministry, ArmenTel was Armenia's single largest
foreign investor with $58 million spent during the period in question.
The figure includes substantial proceeds from the revenues earned by the
company within Armenia. ArmenTel's first-half profits jumped by as much
67.8 percent to $18 million.

It is not clear what percentage of those investments was channeled into
ArmenTel's underdeveloped wireless network that all but collapsed with
the launch of the VivaCell network on July 1. The OTE subsidiary
promised to remedy the still mysterious problem by the end of last
month. However, ArmenTel's long-suffering subscribers again found it
practically impossible to make phone calls on Monday and Tuesday.

The Armenian government has strongly challenged the credibility of
ArmenTel's investment figures in the past.

Davtian said Russian and other foreign companies have also made
substantial investments in other sectors of the Armenian economy such as
construction and mining. He said the total amount of foreign investment
is on track to surpass the record-high level of $305 million reported by
the government last year.

The bulk of those injections came from foreign firms already operating
in Armenia and their impact on job creation was therefore limited. Major
Western companies still rarely do business in Armenia. Analysts
attribute their lack of interest to the country's flawed business
environment and the entire region's persisting negative image in the
West.

Davtian said greater foreign investment is vital for ensuring a major
increase Armenia's modest exports and thereby maintaining its robust
economic growth. `Our economy has reached a point where its further
growth requires increased exports because the domestic market is already
mainly saturated,' he explained.
