The GDP index per capita is expected to reach 15000 US dollars in 2040 from the 3500 US dollars in 2015. Within the next 5 years, the exportation of goods and services must constitute the 40-45 percent of the GDP and must reach up to 50-55 percent in 2040. The poverty rate must be maximum 18 percent over the upcoming 5 years, and only 7-8 percent in 2040. Our population will reach up to 4 million in 2040 in a result of the significant and rapid improvement of the demographic situation.
These are the promises president Serzh Sargsyan made in the National Assembly. To the question, whether he believes that we will have such a state in 2040, whether he believes in whatever the president said in the NA, a deputy of “Yelq” bloc, former vice-president Aram Sargsyan replied, “Serzh Sargsyan must be concerned about his 2018’s resignation. I think it is not appropriate for him to talk about 2040”. Aram Sargsyan considers it strange that Serzh Sargsyan makes plans for far 2040, as he had told that he would not hold any positions after his resignation.
