Asatrian: Compulsory pension contributions already make 3bn AMD
The Armenian parliament today continued to examine the draft law on making amendments to the Law on Accumulative Pensions.
The secretary of opposition Heritage faction Tevan Poghosian asked Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Artyom Asatrian to say how money will be refunded to those Armenian citizens who made compulsory pension contributions and if any relevant mechanisms were developed by the government.
Artyom Asatrian replied: “We see the relevant solutions as part of a package and at the current stage I would not like to discuss the mechanisms related to that package”.
When asked to announce the total amount of compulsory pension contributions made so far by citizens, Asatrian said: “If I am not mistaken, about 3 billion drams”.
