    Yerevan, 31 May: Armenia takes first place on the World Bank's
    rating scale by the implementation of the bank's programmes and by
    the improvement of the business and investment climate, the regional
    director of the World Bank on Europe, Central Asia and the South
    Caucasus, Donna Dowsett-Coirolo, said at a meeting with Armenian
    President Robert Kocharyan, the presidential press service has told
    Arminfo.

    The director of the World Bank's representative office in Yerevan,
    Roger Robinson, also attended the meeting.

    The sides highly rated the implementation and results of joint
    programmes. Expressing his satisfaction with the fact that Armenia
    takes first place on the list, Kocharyan pointed out that the country
    does not intend to stop at what it has achieved and will continue
    the process of reforms.

    The parties touched on tasks and work to be carried out in different
    spheres. Kocharyan said that serious steps are being taken in order
    to make the work of the customs and tax services more and more
    transparent. An attempt is being made to minimize contacts between
    the customs and businessmen.

    The sides also discussed the fight against corruption. Kocharyan said
    that active reforms have started in the judicial-legislative sphere
    and that consultative assistance in this issue is expected from the
    World Bank.
