 Galaxy Group of Companies, which is one of the biggest taxpayers and employers in Armenia, representing 15 business unites, has published its 2021 socio-economic yearly impact report, summarizing the Group’s activities in 2020. The report includes information about the tax and loan portfolio, number of employees, salary fund, statistics about the impact on Armenia’s GDP and other such important data.

 “2020 has undoubtedly been the most difficult year for all of us. It was our joint decision that regardless of the challenges—be it the war, the economic crisis, corporate sabotage or unlawful persecution—we should maintain business continuity, because we feel huge responsibility towards thousands of people, including our company employees and their families. As a business group with local and international capital, Galaxy Group of Companies will continue creating new, additional values, contributing to the recovery of Armenia’s economy,” stated Aram Khachatryan, co-founder and CEO of Galaxy Group of Companies.
