PanARMENIAN.Net - Rating of Forbes is still being discussed in Armenia which ranked the country’s economy to the worst after Madagascar.

As Member of Parliament Manvel Badeyan told a new conference in Yerevan, government forecasts are opposed to international rating agencies around the world.

“Information fight is carried out all over the globe, and there are no means to curb it. Agencies’ rating is nothing but demonstration of information outrage,” the Parliamentarian said.

However regress in Armenia’s economy is obvious and complex approach is needed to solve problems revealed by the crisis.

According to founder of Alternative research center, Doctor of Economics Tatul Manaseryan , Armenia’s government lacks objective economic evaluation which would characterize domestic situation presently arousing distrust among the population.

Moreover, Manaseryan is not inclined to think that the rating over Armenia was ordered to Forbes, from political reasons.

“Regardless of the amount offered, Forbes would not sacrifice its image for a small country like Armenia,” Doctor of Economics said.
