    12.03.2009 17:33 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ `In the end of 2009 we'll face some difficulties in
    covering the budget, but the crediting of social programs won't be
    cancelled,' the Chairman of Parliamentary Commission for Finance,
    Crediting, Budget and Economy, Member of RA Republican Party Gagik
    Minasyan told a news conference on Mar. 12.

    According to Minasyan, the Armenian Government will undertake all
    necessary steps to overcome the financial crisis, as well as promote
    creation of new job opportunities in more perspective spheres. He
    specified that realization of social expenditures can be postponed
    till the last quarter of 2009, when the budget is filled with new
    proceeds.

    As for state revenues, the reserve fund, now totaling AMD 77billion,
    will allow decreasing the budget deficit to 3%. The Parliamentary
    Commission Chairman added that 2007 reserve fund allowed to fully
    cover the expenditures for 2008. `Much was spent on exchange rate
    control in the first months of 2009, yet the expenditures were
    necessary for timely introduction of the floating exchange rate
    policy.' According to Gagik Minasyan's forecast, by the end of the
    year state expenditures will be compensated by the revenue secured
    from shadow economy control.
