YEREVAN, November 27. \/ARKA\/. The Armenian government plans to introduce a cashback system for non-cash purchases starting January 1, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan announced at a government meeting on Thursday, the relevant draft is already in circulation and will be reviewed and approved by the government within a timeframe to launch the process on January 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, this means that any citizen will automatically receive a 2% cashback on the same card for non-cash purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This means there will be no need to submit applications or take any other action,” Pashinyan noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Labor and Social Affairs Minister Arsen Torosyan, in turn, announced that, in this case, taking into account today’s decision, the cashback for pensioners will be 22%. A government decision on November 27 provides for an increase in the cashback rate for pensioners and benefit recipients for non-cash payments: the cashback rate is planned to be set at 20% instead of the current 12% of monthly expenses, and the maximum cashback amount will increase to 10,000 drams from the current 6,000 drams. ($1 = 381.07 drams).-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
