BHK assesses state budget report as unsatisfactory

“The poverty index in Armenia is 36%, whereas the government promised to reduce poverty to 25%. The government pledged to turn Armenia into a regional business and investment center, but it failed to do it. Moreover, after all this they declare that we need to change our way of thinking,” the deputy of Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) parliamentary faction Tigran Urikhanian said today.

In his words, the government cannot explain how per capita GDP has declined in parallel with the growth of Armenian economy.

“We will support the government if it works well, but the current socioeconomic policy of the government does not contribute to problems’ solution and for that reason BHK refused to enter the coalition,” Urikhanian said.

He stated that BHK assesses the state budget execution report as unsatisfactory.
