Journalists asked the President of the Central Bank, Martin Gastyan, whether the increase in pensions and benefits, as a factor, was included in the factors of demand growth and inflation.
“Yes, according to our estimation, it can bring inflation of 0.1-0.2 percent, but until the end of the year,” Galstyan said in response.
