    The Armenian government has amended its 2007 national budget,
    increasing the total by USD 71.5 million, announced Armenian Deputy
    Minister for Finance and Economy Pavel Safarian on June 21.

    The initial 2007 budget was drafted with expectations of nine percent
    GDP growth for the year. Economic trends in the first five months of
    2007, however, led officials to revise the number to an 11 percent
    rise, reports the news agency Regnum.

    The Armenian budget will receive an additional influx from land
    leasing. Estimates fall between USD 11.4 million and USD 42.9 million.

    The government also received a USD 2.9 million grant to be used for
    transportation development.
