Fitch Ratings mentioned the unresolved issue of Amulsar gold mine in its “Armenia's IMF Deal Confirms Post-Transition Policy Focus” commentary.

“Reducing the uncertainty regarding the resolution of the environmental dispute at the Amulsar gold mine could support export growth and foreign investment prospects”, the commentary says.

Banks.am notes that Fitch Ratings reffered to Amulsar issue in December, 2018.

“The halt of gold mine operation by foreign investors due to environmentalist protests creates uncertainty in the sector,” the agency said then.
