YEREVAN. – According to the draft state budget for 2020, Armenia expects to receive an official grant of 33.8 billion drams from foreign countries and international organizations, instead of the 31bn planned in the Medium Term Expenditure Plan. Minister of Finance Atom Janjughazyan said this at the December 5 National Assembly debates on the draft 2020 state budget.

According to him, this is due to the correction of the amounts and volumes of the offered funds, as well as the change in the calculations due to fluctuations in the euro and US dollar exchange rates, based on which the calculations were made.
