NA deputies agreed that the national economy well survived the global financial crisis and economic downturn thanks to the Government’s flexible and effective performance.

The country’s political stability, macro-economy, social security and order were maintained and secured, the top law-makers noted.

The legislative body discussed and passed seven bills and gave their comments on other eleven bills to be approved in the next working session.

Especially, the NA on Friday adopted the Resolution on Socio-economic Development Plan in 2010 with the GDP growth rate of 6.5% and the CPI increase below 7%.
