YEREVAN, November 4. / ARKA /. International donor organizations and the Armenian government signed a letter of intent on Friday to improve economic management in Armenia by using the "regulatory guillotine", the press service of the government told ARKA.

In September 2011 president Sargsyan decreed to create the Council to reform the legal acts regulating the sphere of economy, and to coordinate activities to enhance the effectiveness of state regulation of economic activity.
