Where are we?
•
One has to understand the current position
to find out the right direction to move…
• How to describe our position:
A. Geographic location
B. Natural resources
C. Economic relations

Geographic location
• 29000 square KM total,
and Artsakh
• Being a landlocked,
isolated country, the most
reliable transportation is
through air
• Unfriendly countries from
East and West, friends in
North and South

The cost of blockade
• While the cost of blockade is considerable it
is not a major development constraint for
Armenia.
• The estimate of the blockade is that it hurts
Armenia less directly (transportation costs,
lost volumes of exports)
• than indirectly (depressed investor’s
expectations, inflated internal perceptions of
risk, etc.).

Economic regime
• Economic regime between
1924 - 1991was based on PLANNED
ECONOMY, where the goal was the PLAN,
which was decided not by the enterprise.
• During the last decade Armenia moved to
MARKET ECONOMY, where the goal is the
MONEY (should be replaced by “net utility
to the society”) through honest competition
for a MARKET SHARE.

How well are we prepared?
• How well are we prepared for the relatively new
economic relations? How well do we know the
markets?
• The main problem is in the upbringing and
societal mentality.
• Is there business ethics norms well implanted?
• Do we respect wealthy businesspeople, and vice
versa?

Future value of mineral deposits
• Note that the mineral deposits have future
value, that can be expressed according to the
following formula:
[Future Value] = [Present Value] x [exp (kt)],
where k is a coefficient, and t is the time.
05 September, 2005
Integrative Project in Modern
Production Methods, IE285e
11
Strategy
• For certain mineral deposits this formula may
yield an increase of the value up to 10 times per
decade (in the currency of a particular year).
• This means that the wisest economic solutions are
NOT related with export of raw materials, but in
production of the products that are as close, as
possible to the final products.
05 September, 2005
Integrative Project in Modern
Production Methods, IE285e
12
High technologies
• Manufacturing of final products from the mineral
deposits increases the net utility for the society
much more than selling raw materials to others.
• This is especially true
in the case of high
tech implementation.
• Electronics manufacturing
comprises 1/3 of all
manufacturing in the world!

13
Forests
• Armenia has only 12%
of its territory in forests
in North-east and South.
• During the “dark years”
there has been a
dramatic deforestation,
which, to a considerable
extent, continues now.

Water Resources
• General water resources:
scarce, 7.5 times less of average of
FSU
• Underground Water:
scarce, 4 billion tons annually, 38%
goes to usable springs.

Armenian economic history
highlights, 1988
• There were 1744 conveyer belts, and
403 automated conveyer belts in 1985
• Total 2147 operations with conveyer
belt layout!
• However there were many typical
“soviet – style” problems…

Problems at 1988
• Being Isolated from WORLD COMPETITION
• Thus, behind in quality, due to:
• Most technologies were outdated, by about
15 years!
• Management methods were not effective,
almost no incentives.
• Obvious strategic mistakes in Macro and
Microeconomics levels.
• Mistakes in setting directions for economy.

Costing out the Big Bang: Impact of
external Shocks on the Armenian
Economy at the Outset of Transition

The Reasons for Economic Decline
1. Unavoidable costs:
a) Terms of Trade (TOT) shock –
deterioration of real incomes due to
economic liberalization and shifts in
domestic prices towards prices in of the
world market.
b) External Demand Shock – Market Loss –
opening of markets to global competition.
05 September, 2005
Integrative Project in Modern
Production Methods, IE285e
30
The Reasons for Economic Decline
c) Fiscal Shock – removal of traditional
explicit budget and quasi-budget transfers.
d) Secondary effects of all above shocks –
decline of the overall domestic demand
due to a), b), c).
05 September, 2005

31
The Reasons for Economic Decline
• Avoidable costs:
Mistakes in management of reforms:
Delays;
Too rapid;
Inconsistencies.

32
Analytical Framework
• The paper follows the framework suggested
by Rodrick (1992),
• It is also modified to include the fiscal
shock associated with elimination of fiscal
and quasi-fiscal transfers to Armenia from
the consolidated budget of FSU,
• however, these transfers were insignificant
before the 1988 earthquake.

35
Reasons for Industrial Decline
a) Sharp decline in defense and other
demand.
b) Low competitiveness of the Armenian
goods esp. in consumer sector after energy
and other subsidies withdrawn: markets
lost to Turkey and China.
c) Political factors that pushed Russian
producers (e.g. in defense) to switch to
local producers.
05 September, 2005
Integrative Project in Modern
Production Methods, IE285e
36
Reasons for Industrial Decline
d) New cost factors, such as increased
transportation costs.
e) Excessive size of many enterprises that
cannot be profitable at low rate of
production.
05 September, 2005
Integrative Project in Modern
Production Methods, IE285e
37
Reasons for Industrial Decline
In short:
“too many of wrong enterprises operated in
wrong sectors” –
too many subsidized sectors: low energy and
raw material prices and no international
competition.

GDP dynamics
05 September, 2005

39
In 1993
• 55% of GDP decline from ~$5B to $2.5B (the
great depression of the USA = - 26%)
• ¾ of the total industrial production affected by
negative price shock
• 77% of total exports affected by negative price
shock
• In 1987 exports were responsible for the 47% of
the GDP.

Balance of Payment (BOP) in 1987
• Balance in trade of goods and services –
- 10% of GDP
• Inter-budgetary transfers ~ - 2% of GDP
• Difference between Pension Fund transfers - 3.3% of
GDP, investment financing, and taxes of Armenian
Enterprises –
~ - 4% of GDP
• Total account deficit was ~ – 16.6% of GDP
(-12.7% was already sitting in the budget).
• HOWEVER THE INFLUENCE OF THIS DEFICIT
WAS VERY MODEST. REAL TRANSFERS = 6%!

Trade Balance, viewed from
outside,1987
• If one assumes that in 1987 Armenian economy
would become overnight integrated to world
economy,
• Deterioration from
- 1.7% of GDP to
- 18.5% of GDP would take place,
• Totalling a loss of 17% of GDP.
• In 1996 the trade balance is - 32.3% of GDP
05 September, 2005

43
Declined Markets
• Overall decline of demand by 3 – 10 times,
power and machinery are the most affected!
• About $2B lost in exports – 80% of the
export rate in 1987
• Equivalent of 25% of total industrial output,
• Equivalent of loss of $715M of GDP (8%).
