    Oct 28, 2009

    YEREVAN, October 28, /ARKA/. Armenian Finance Minister Tigran Davtian
    said today the economy may show a bigger growth next year and exceed
    the projected 1.2%.

    "In our next year's budget we have projected a cautious 1.2% growth.

    But I do not rule out that under the most optimistic scenario the
    GDP may show a bigger growth,' he said to a news conference.

    According to the minister, the economy began to growth since August.

    In September it grew by 4.8% against August and this trend goes on,
    although, he said, the growth was seasonal.

    "Therefore, we have a textbook option-crisis-stabilization- anticipated
    growth,' he concluded.

    Under the 2010 draft budget, the economy is projected to show a 1.3%
    growth. The aggregate GDP is projected at 3 trillion and 214 billion
    Drams. ($1 - 385.08 Drams).
