YEREVAN. - As of January 1, 2014, the average pension in Armenia will
rise by 15 percent, and as of July 1, the wages will rise by 40
percent.
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan noted the abovementioned during
Saturday's special Cabinet session.
The salaries and pensions will be raised on the account of the
additional revenues that are envisioned in the state budget.
On his part, Labor and Social Affairs Minister Artem Asatryan said the
increases in pensions will be different for different groups. Hence,
the pensions of those that receive low pensions will rise by up to 25
percent, whereas the pensions of those that receive high pensions will
increase by a mere 3 percent. In addition, a minimum monthly pension
of 18,200 drams (approx. $45) will be set.
In this connection, PM Tigran Sargsyan stated that, by making
amendments in the law, the pension differences between the groups
should be lessened.
