ArmInfo.The office of the Prime Minister of Armenia will increase the costs of official travel. The decision was made at the February 28 sitting of the RA government.
As noted in the project's rationale, the Prime Minister's office has already exceeded its quarterly spending plan. At the same time, wage premiums, rental expenses and entertainment expenses will be cut. As a result, the Prime Minister's office will be deprived of the opportunity to receive wage premiums of 70 million drams, the cost of renting property and equipment will be reduced by 50 million drams, and representation expenses – by 15 million drams. Thus, 135 million drams will be saved. At the same time, travel expenses will increase by 70 million drams and other expenses by 20 million drams.
