MINING 

Mining industry is among the most important branches in Armenian economy, especially with regard to the increasing export of mining products. Additionally it has a potential to play a key role in economic growth of Armenia, as the development in the mining sector may consequently lead to the development of other fields such as agriculture, chemical industry and many other fields as well.  Besides low taxes and license fees makes it even more profitable for a company to operate in Armenia in this industry.

Broadly speaking mining industry can be a significant driver of development in Armenia, and can bring profit to a corporation operating in it; yet environmental consequences of mining are at the highest concern particularly among the population where it operates. The peculiarity of Armenia’s mining sector is that in line with its obvious short-term benefits from the economic point of view, in long run, however, there are higher costs to a society and environment. That is to say that whereas a few benefit from this field, others bear the cost such as unequal distribution of income despite of the fact that average monthly wages in the mining sector are significantly higher than in other areas of the economy, health issues, and environmental damages.
