The Economy of Nagorno-Karabakh is small, but rapidly growing. The war torn economy of Karabakh shows a relatively quick and confident recovery. In 1999 GDP figure was $59 million, 80 percent down on the figure in Soviet times.〔(Karabakh hopes for recognition — from investors ) 2000-10-07〕 Yet, its GDP reached $114 million in 2005, double the figure in 2001, registering economic growth of 14% (in current prices) in 2005,〔(Nagorno-Karabakh: ‘There is no going back for us’ ), by Thomas Cromwell on DiplomaticTraffic.com〕 and in 2009 it registered a GDP of $260 million, which increased to $320 million by 2010. Nagorno-Karabakh's GDP (PPP) for 2010 is estimated at $1.6 billion. According to official estimates of the Nagorno-Karabakh Statistical Service,〔(''Statistical Yearbook of Nagorno-Karabakh 2002-2007'' ), National Statistical Service of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic〕 the GDP in current (market) prices increased by 116% between 2001 and 2007. The Consumer Price Index increased only by 34% during this period, which implies a real growth of about 60% in GDP during the six years 2001-2007. In 2007, agriculture accounted for 16% of GDP, manufacturing industries 15%, construction 9%, and the service sector 57%. The share of agriculture in GDP went down from 33% in 2002 to 16% in 2007, while the share of manufacturing and services increased correspondingly. The most investments are in telecoms, gold mining, diamond polishing, jewelry and agriculture. In the Soviet Union, Nagorno-Karabakh was the largest per capita producer of grapes. Nagorno-Karabakh is known for its mulberry vodka ((アルメニア語:tuti oghi)). It is commercially produced and exported under the brand name ''Artsakh'' by the Artsakh-Alco Brandy Company in Askeran District.〔(Artsakh mulberry vodka )〕〔(Artsakh-Alco Brandy Company )〕 ==Energy== Up until recently Nagorno-Karabakh Republic was known to operate at least one hydroelectric power plant near Mardakert, which was constructed during the Soviet times. The government has been planning to build a number of small hydroelectric power plants — at a cost of $70–$80 million — that will supply both domestic needs and provide opportunities for export. In 2001 the republic imported 60 percent of its electricity from Armenia.〔 On 12 April 2010 the prime ministers of NKR and Armenia inaugurated "Trghe-1" - the first in series of long anticipated hydro-electric stations in Nagorno-Karabakh. The name of this new electric energy company is "Artsakh HEK”, which already had a base capital of $5mln on the day of its inauguration. Prime Minister of Armenia, Tigran Sargsyan has called on the public and the diaspora to buy the shares of "Artsakh HEPS" and to invest in NKR economy, saying that its security and future relies on its economic growth and economic self-sufficiency. The plans for the near future include the construction of two more mini-hydro-electric power stations on the same river – “Trghe-2 and “Trghe-3” by the end of 2010 and also “Mataghis-1” and “Mataghis-2” in 2011.〔(Armenian, Karabakh Governments Inaugurate Hydro-electric Station ), Asbarez, 12 April 2010.〕 The realization of the given energetic program will give the chance to produce additional 120 million kwt/h of the electric power. By 2012 this will almost completely satisfy the requirements of the republic for the electric power, which will rise by then to 300 million kwt/h. With these new power plants NKR hopes to become not only self-sufficient in terms of its electricity production, but also a net exporter of electric energy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Economy of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
