Next stage to focus on better living conditions for pensioners: Prime Minister

After aligning the minimum pension in Armenia with the minimum food basket, the Government will focus on improving the living conditions of pensioners in the next stage, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during a meeting with citizens in Yerevan.

Pashinyan noted that since 2018 the minimum pension has doubled, and in 2022–2023 the issue of ensuring the minimum subsistence level was addressed. He explained that the adjustment of pensions to the food basket aimed to ensure that pensioners meet basic nutritional needs, also taking into account refunds from non-cash transactions.

The Prime Minister emphasized that the next phase will focus on improving the quality of life of pensioners, adding that further steps should enable gradual progress toward better living conditions.
