Pharmaceutical Sector Brochure.Pdf GAREN MIKIRDITSIAN CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER DEAR INVESTOR, DEVELOPMENT Pharmaceutical production is one of the fastest growing sectors of the Armenian economy: over the 2012-2015 period the annual growth rate of the Pharmaceutical FOUNDATION OF sector represented 18% and its share in Armenia’s GDP grew by 2.5 times over the past 8 years. ARMENIA The Pharmaceutical sector is an important part of Armenia’s economy, has great growth potential and as such has been declared a priority sector of the economy by the Government of the Republic of Armenia. A strong scientific school, the ambition of private enterprises, support of the private sector by the Government of Armenia, and assistance of donor organizations have been the most important factors contributing to the growth of Armenia's Pharmaceutical sector. Armenia's Pharmaceutical sector is open for investment, and the Development Foundation of Armenia (DFA) has deemed it essential to have an updated source of information about the sector's recent development and the capabilities of the companies involved within the sector. The Guide provides this information, and we are confident it will be of great value to investors, pharmaceutical companies and to consumers alike. The Development Foundation of Armenia is Armenia’s National Authority for Investment, Export and Tourism. It provides in depth services to foreign investors including the provision of requisite information on Armenia’s business climate, investment opportunities and relevant legislation, ground support in organizing site visits for investors, management of post-visit support, assistance with investment project implementation, business introductions, as well as liaison with governmental institutions. The DFA also provides after-care investment services to investors already established in Armenia. The DFA assists Armenia based businesses in expanding export volumes and diversifying export markets through promotion of Armenia made products at international trade fairs, assisting companies in increasing the level of export readiness, providing them with financial assistance within the scope of specific governmental programs and organizing trade fairs showcasing export products to international buyers and distributors. We trust this Pharmaceutical Guide will provide you with a good understanding of Armenia's Pharmaceutical sector and lay the ground for your increased involvement in one of the most promising sectors of the Armenian economy.
