  • Economists warn Armenia’s planned power grid nationalization threatens investment climate

    By Elen Muradyan Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s announcement that the government plans to nationalize the Electricity Networks of Armenia (ENA), is deeply concerning, say economists who warn the move could severely damage the country’s investment appeal and international reputation. The statement Wednesday targets ENA, Armenia’s main power distribution company and a strategic asset ultimately owned by Russian-based Armenian billionaire Samvel Karapetyan.
