Negotiations with the Word Bank on the topic of additional resources have reached their ultimate phase, particularly, related to the projects with state co-financing. This requires reallocation of the budget resources, told a meeting of the government Armenia's minister of finance Tigran Davtyan on Thursday.

According to Mr.Davtyan, changes in the draft budget assume restoration of two projects in the sphere of agriculture: «Consulting services» and «Forest monitoring», which require 100 million AMD and 12 million AMD respectively, as well as to restore temporally seized laboratories in high schools, which require 150 million AMD.

The second project envisages reallocation of 1.4 billion AMD from the sphere of out-of hospital services to in-hospital services.
