YEREVAN, July 20. /ARKA/. The UK Government’s Good Governance Fund (GGF) will be supporting the operation of the EBRD backed Business Support Office (BSO) in Armenia. The GGF will also help the BSO to take forward a series of targeted activities to address the economic impact of Covid-19 on SMEs in Armenia.

“The BSO facilitates a platform for policy dialogue between the Government of Armenia and the private sector, as well as providing economic and legal expertise to encourage a more favourable investment climate in which the private sector can flourish,” the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development says in its release.
