"Inflation has been just over 1 percent since the beginning of the year, which is a very positive indicator. I have already declared that the minimum wage and minimum pension will be increased next year, despite inflation being at a very low level and the significant financial resources required for the tasks ahead, particularly for the development of the military and military-industrial complex and the restoration of Karabakh and East Zangazur.
