RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan received the members of the World Bank team tasked with the preparation of the Armenia State budget support paper, headed by World Bank Armenia programs chief economist Samis Mitra.
The Prime Minister thanked the World Bank representatives for having developed an all-comprehensive document covering RA government priorities and pan-Armenian programs as, according to him, the paper may provide an undeniable support to the Government. The parties then spoke of issues concerning the pension reforms, tax and customs administration, e-government, reform of public expenditure policies, effective use of natural resources and some other areas. Appreciative of the work done so far, the Prime Minister said the Government had no major objections thereto.
