“The budget, in its logic and ideology, is incorrect and not adequate.” said today the ANC MP, former Prime Minister Hrant Bagratyan during a meeting with reporters. According to Bagratyan, the greater burden of budget revenue in 2013 falls on the shoulders of small and medium enterprises.
“Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said that this year’s budget is social. These are his words, but I must say that the budget cannot there non-social. Budget finances public needs. These are all social functions. There is no formed means, using which we will receive an increase. We do not have a budget growth. There are no steps to reduce its shadow. ”
The former prime minister is sure that it is not right to start budget debate by presenting expenditures. “They should begin with income calculation. It is necessary to understand how much the income is in order to know how much the expenditures would be. There are a number of issues which need to be raised.”
