YEREVAN, November 6. / ARKA /. The Armenian government collected 785.6 billion drams in revenue in the first nine months (100.1 percent of the projected amount) and spent 709.8 billion (91.6 percent of the projected amount), the ministry of finance said.

The spending growth rate increased by 7.5% (49.5 billion drams) from 3.7 % (23.4 billion drams) in the first nine months last year, mainly due to higher operating costs.
