    INTERNATIONAL LOANS RECEIVED BY ARMENIA TO BE USED FOR SOCIAL PROGRAMS

    ARKA
    July 30, 2009

    YEREVAN, July 30. /ARKA/. International loans attracted by Armenia will
    be used to implement social programs particularly for development of
    infrastructures, Armenian Minister of Economy Nerses Yeritsyan told
    journalists Thursday

    According to Yeritsyan, implementation of infrastructure projects and
    road construction in particular will help to create a considerable
    number of new jobs.

    Yeritsyan said that the ministry is implementing its own projects
    within the government budget scope.

    The budget of the ministry has not been increased for the projects: the
    ministry just re-distributes some funds to help implement anti-crisis
    measures, the Minister said.

    Under anti-crisis assistance programs, Armenia is to receive $545
    million from the World Bank for four years, $823 million from the IMF,
    $140 million from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for two years and
    $500 million from Russia.

    So far Armenia has received from the ADB a total of $381 million in
    a form of financial assistance.
