Yerevan/Mediamax/. Permanent representative of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Yerevan Guillermo Tolosa said today that “Armenia’s tax field is to face difficult challenges in future”.

Mediamax reports that Guillermo Tolosa said that although the process of economic reforms in Armenia continues going by the correct path, IMF, just like in the past, has doubts concerning the speeds of the given process.

“In the tax field there are certain positive steps taken in the right direction. However a lot more needs to be done”, Guillermo Tolosa said.

He also added that the Armenian government should continue paying attention to increase of the number of people collecting taxes.

Guillermo Tolosa noted that the government should try to mitigate the consequences of the crisis for the least secure layers of the population by increasing the volume of social services and services of healthcare.
