As we reported earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan continues to present the election program of the Civil Contract party to the people. The Prime Minister posted a new video on his social network page with a detailed description of the last part of the program, which outlines the measures and actions that the party will be able to implement after the formation of a parliamentary majority and government in 2026-2031.
One such plan is to index pensions so that the average actual pension is not lower than the minimum consumer basket.
“Fortunately, now our average pension exceeds the consumer basket, and this is historic news, a historic change in the social security sector in Armenia.
Previously, we adjusted the minimum pension to the minimum food basket, which meant that the pensioner had to receive the minimum required calories for a month, and now, several years later, including the post-payment system, we maintain the average pension at a level sometimes 10 percent higher than the minimum consumer basket.
Starting in 2028, we will increase the size of pensions so that the pension is no longer below the minimum consumer basket in Armenia,” the Prime Minister said.
Nikol Pashinyan also touched upon the discussions that followed his proposal to pensioners to buy a ticket for an increased part of their pension and go to Larnaca. He said: Yes, it is possible.
