The revised 2026 state budget bill envisages over 3.6 trillion drams in expenditures and 3 trillion 91 billion drams in revenues, Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan told Members of Parliament on Wednesday.
“Budget expenditures are projected at 3 trillion 627 billion drams, of which current expenditures amount to 2 trillion 923 billion drams, and capital expenditures to 704 billion drams. Compared to the first phase, current expenditures have decreased by 0.9 billion drams. The reduction is mainly due to a revaluation of the exchange rate,” Hovhannisyan said.
The minister noted that around 30 proposals were received from lawmakers regarding the preliminary budget draft, some of which have been accepted.
“State budget revenues are projected at 3 trillion 91 billion drams, which is 0.2 billion drams lower than in the preliminary version,” the minister added.
