spending for 2014-2016 Armenian finance minister David Sargsyan said

spend 1.258 trillion drams or 25.93% of the GDP.
The minister said the projected increase in revenue collection in 2014
by 113 billion drams compared to 2013 will be achieved by improved

billion drams. Growth is also expected in 2016, he said. In his words,

drams and the transition to the funded pension system will require
additionally about 20 billion drams.

drams next year to pay poverty and other benefits and channel also
additional funds into defense, science and other sectors.

trillion drams in spending. The government expects to collect 993.08
billion drams in taxes and dues, by 118.7 billion drams than in 2012.
