Economist Vardan Bostanjyan told Lragir.am that the minimum salary
increase by 2500 AMD will have no positive influence on the life
of people.
According to him, the minimum salary should grow proportionately with
inflation. In other words, the minimum salary should increase each
time prices go up. But it is not enough. The country should ensure
that the minimum salary is equal to the cost of living.
Vardan Bostanjyan calculated that the state will have to raise the
minimum salary to 75-80 thousand for this purpose.
At the same time, he noted that the budget of Armenia is small,
and in 2013 nothing more than what has already been done could be done.
