Armenian officials adopted the law on the minimum basket of goods and
is convinced that it makes 13,000 drams in Armenia. One is estimated
to need 7,000 for food.

European organizations’ representatives shared their experience with
the republic officials at a seminar held Wednesday in Marriott-Armenia
hotel in Yerevan.

After looking through the calculations Europeans came to conclusion
that political, not economic approach prevail in calculating minimal
basket of goods in Armenia.

Armenian health ministry has worked out its own version of the minimal
basket that differs from the existing one, according to which 30,000
drams are needed for normal nourishment.

However, it is clear this amount is too scant for that.
