Today, a special session of the NKR Government conducted by the Prime
Minister Ara Haroutyunyan has taken place.
The Executive has discussed one agenda issue, the project of changes
in the law "On NKR State Budget 2010". By the Vice Prime Minister,
Minister of Finance Spartak Tevosyan's clarification its adoption is
preconditioned by the necessity of solution of some issues standing
before the NKR Government. In particular, it was noted that from
November 1, 2010, the retirees pension will be increased by 2500 drams
and the size of monthly pecuniary aid rendered to some privileged
groups of citizens was increased by 30 percent from May 1, 2010.
In 2010, in Artsakh, an increase of birthrate was recorded, for
spurring of which the sums anticipated by the state budget are
henceforth insufficient.
By the Vice Prime Minister's clarification, changes in the State Budget
are also preconditioned by increase of expenses foreseen in capital
investment programme, which have derived in the result of construction
and restoration of some units of strategic and paramount importance.
One more financial amendment: sums of expenses for involved borrowed
means will increase by 150 mln drams.
For financing of the mentioned programme the Executive proposes to
increase the supply by 4 mlrd 590 mln drams. The budgeted deficit
will increase by the same size correspondingly.
In concern with the project of the NKR State Budget changes the Prime
Minister A.Haroutyunyan has given additional clarifications. He has
noted that at 2009 year-end, when State Budget 2010 was affirmed,
financial sources of some under implementation programmes were not
justified that's why these expenses were not considered and included
into the State Budget. Today, these sources are known, the Premier
explained, and consequently there is a chance to make some budgetary
changes. It was emphasized that for construction of Stepanakert airport
(its construction is foreseen to be accomplished by the end of the
year) some additional sums are needed. The same is in concern with
twenty-four-hour water supply of the capital. According to the Premier
for complete solution of these issues 6.5 mlrd drams are needed. It
is foreseen to accomplish water supply of the city in forthcoming
2-3 years.
The Executive has approved the project, which will be submitted to
the discussion of the NKR NA.
Beyond the agenda of the special session, a problem of working out
of governmental medium-term programmes was touched upon. The Prime
Minister has recommended the ministers to be guided by the affirmed
figures and to present realistic programmes.
