YEREVAN, February 4. /ARKA/. Armenia’s off-budget funds not so large – they total AMD 15 billion, Armenian Finance Minister Tigran Davtyan said Wednesday in National Assembly.

He said the information about these funds are transparent and available on the ministry and the government’s websites.

Davtyan said that all budget-spending reports will be placed on these sites. He also said that the cabinet ministers made a quite tight decision recently, under which spending of out-of-budget funds will be viewed as that of budget spending.

“Now all the projects of off -budget funds, spending estimates and direct expenses will be carried out in the same regime. Results of this decision will be visible soon,” the minister said.

On January 21, Armenian government tightened rules for spending funds accumulated at state agencies. ($1= AMD 376.29). -0-
