Armenia's 2010 State Budget
Friday, 05 February 2010 13:51 |
  
 Armenia’s residents know how the government collects taxes, but few know how those revenues are spent. For that reason, the Civilitas annual report Armenia in 2009: Promise and Reality, prepared a well-researched and detailed poster providing a visual explanation of Armenia’s 2010 budget.The budget is divided into 11 fundamental categories:
Those eleven categories (with the exception of the Reserve Funds) are divided into the relevant sub-categories. A careful study of the budget shows for example that the reserved funds are equal to the total funds the government intends to spend on sports, culture and the environment. |

This second annual country report comes to build on the analysis and projections made in the Civilitas Foundation’s 
Vartan Oskanian's book “Speaking To Be Heard: A Decade of Speeches” has just been published in English and Armenian.
This publication is intended to be an annual overview of the political and economic situation in Armenia, as well as those global and regional developments that affect Armenia and the region. 2008 began with a political campaign season, moved on to the presidential election in February, then the tragic events of March, which colored all subsequent domestic political and social processes for the rest of the year. Economically, expectations were that 2008 would be a difficult year in which to try to sustain the double-digit growth of years past and begin to make some real headway in reducing economic disparities by introducing second generation reforms. Those expectations were fulfilled and compounded when the US financial crisis mushroomed into a global emergency that also infected Armenia.Our previous question was: "Do you believe that free elections (one where even an incumbent can be defeated) can change a country?" Opinions were mostly divided. Of those who answered the question, 53% thought that such elections could bring positive change to the country; 43% thought they could not. Around 4% did not have an answer. |
