YEREVAN, November 2. /ARKA/. Maintenance costs of legislative,
executive and judicial bodies are envisaged in the amount of 57. 913
billion drams by the draft state budget 2010, said first Deputy
Minister of Finance of Armenia Pavel Safaryan.
"It is 3 billion drams - 5% more than the last year. However, in 2012
the share maintenance costs of legislative, executive and judicial
bodies in GDP will reduce, i.e. their increase rates will be below
GDP rates. It is conditioned by the fact that the State in 2012
gives priority to social indicators, particularly to the increase of
pensions and benefits", said Safaryan during the budget hearings in
the National Assembly of Armenia.
"If we deduct from this sum maintenance costs of embassies, about
50.5 billion drams will be left for the maintenance of legislative,
executive and judicial bodies", he said.
"Over 75% of this sum will make salary fund. In 2012 it is envisaged
implement staff increase which is conditioned by structural changes,
particularly establishment of State Security Service of food
products, licensing agencies in a number of ministries, as well
as establishment of Ethics Committee of high officials within the
President's administration", said Safaryan.
In regard to these changes, the staff will increase by about 166
employees.
The second factor which will impact the salary fund will become the
level of average salary. "In this sphere the government does not
offer increase of salaries but only natural growth in average by 3%
defined by the law on salaries of civil servants", he said.

servants, for which the budget allocated 18 billion drams.

for 2012, according to which the income part is 910 billion drams,
expenses - 1042.5 billion drams and deficit - 132.5 billion drams.
