The problems of economic security: methodology and results
On the 8th of April in Noravank Foundation took place a seminar upon the subject “the problems of economic security; methodology and results”. The main speech was given by a doctor of economic science Ashot Markosyan. He stressed up the fundamental role of national security in today’s world in formation of national policy and national development. While governing their political system many countries pay special attention to its security considering it to be the main component in the triad of security-stability-development.
The maintenance of national security much depends on the development and stability of economy. In connection with it the speaker pointed out the importance of RA strategy in economic security, estimations, ways and mechanisms of its realization, ensuring the economic interests of the country and the region.
The component parts of economic security are:
- Economic independence
- The stability of economy
- Ensuring its development
The priorities of the government to ensure economic security are:
- Stimulation of the expend in export
- Structural reorganization of economy
- The improvement of the major population’s living conditions
- The formation of the middle class
One of the most important threats to RA economic security is the permanent brain-drain. Another threat is the shadow economy and corruption.
The speaker suggested making a system of economic security based on the worked out results of the monitoring, analytical computations, forecasts etc. According to him a conception of RA economic security must be worked out, every year it will neatly define priority directions in providing security. A. Markosyan mentioned that for the realization of these theses must also be provided legal basis of economic security. With that end in view after the elaboration of the economic security conceptions must be enacted a law “about economic security”.
