Reserve fund exhausted – Armenian finance minister

YEREVAN, September 3. /ARKA/. Armenian Finance Minister Atom Janjughazyan said Thursday at a regular government meeting that the reserve fund has been exhausted.

The minister announced this in the context of the pending issue on the procurement of protective equipment for educational institutions.

“I would like to inform that if a decision is made in this form, there will be a problem of implementation, because the reserve fund is currently under load. I ask you to find solutions to replenish the reserve fund before signing,” Janjughazyan said.

The project proposes to allocate 646.8 million drams (about $ 1.3 million) to purchase protective equipment for students. -0-
