    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ At Monday meeting the government of Armenia came up
    with the decision to cut down on the budget expenditures. `We need to
    use the State resources sparingly and to carry out the expenditure
    commensurate with our revenue. We must be ready for the worst scenario
    to come, said Tigran Sargsyan, Armenia's Prime Minister. The
    uncertainty of the situation is too big and under the current
    situation Armenia will move to a quarterly budget planning.

    The head of the Government said that the following items regarding the
    economy are protected, namely social expenses, pension expenses,
    allowances, salaries, defense expenses; the rest of the expenses will
    be carried in the regime of rigid economy.

    forecasts by WB and IMF have been reviewed four times for the last
    month. That is why need to work more efficiently, be prompt to spend
    as much as we can get from taxes,' said the Prime Minister.
