The amount of salary of top public officials will depend on the amount
of minimum salary, Pavel Safaryan, deputy minister of finance and
economy, told a parliament hearing on state budget. In his words, if
the minimum salary does not go up, the salary of top officials will
not increase, either. The state budget envisages 40% higher salary
for top officials. The average base salary of public employees will
go up to 104.5 thousand drams instead of present 87 thousand.
Safaryan said expenditures for keeping state administration will
increase by 5.2 billion drams, 67% of which are salaries and pension
funds. Rise of expenditures is determined by institutional changes.
Some 174 more people will be employed in the public sector in 2007.
Speaking about state subsidies to communities, deputy minister said
3.3 bln more drams will be released. /Panorama.am/
