Armenian PM: 2016 state budget to remain socially oriented
Realistic provisions to ensure stability form the basis of Armenia’s draft state budget for 2016, Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan said in National Assembly of Armenia today during debates of the 2016 draft state budget.
According to the premier, next year, too, the state budget will be socially oriented, which is evident from the fact that almost half of the budget expenditures in 2016 are for education, social protection, and healthcare.
He said an appropriate level of expenditures is planned for defense, public order maintenance, and national security.
Besides, in 2016 the Armenian government will continue providing financial assistance to Nagorno Karabakh, H. Abrahamyan said.
