The standard of living and well-being of the citizens of Armenia are primarily determined not by personal expenses, but by allocations of state and municipal budgets, and any attempt to discredit the tax system is against the public interest.
This was announced by the RA Prime Minister at the government session on April 18 Nikol Pashinyandescribing the demonetization of taxes as an anti-state act. The head of the government noted that tax collection and targeted spending ensure the well-being of all layers of society, both the most disadvantaged and the rich. As an example, the prime minister referred to the indispensability of infrastructure, noting that even citizens with the most expensive cars cannot build private highways or airports for themselves, and without roads built by the state, the operation of luxury cars will become impossible.
Referring to the financial indicators, the head of the executive documented the growth dynamics of budget revenues. According to the data presented by him, compared to 2017, the revenues of the state budget increased by 130 percent in 2025. The Prime Minister emphasized that if 29 percent inflation is subtracted from this index, then the state budget has more than doubled in real terms.
