YEREVAN, November 15. /ARKA/. The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) will provide Armenia with a budget assistance loan worth €45.8 million, First Deputy Finance Minister Karen Brutyan said during a government meeting on Thursday.
The government approved today the proposal to sign a loan agreement with IBRD 'to develop policies in the fiscal, economic and public administration sectors."
The deputy minister said the loan is envisaged by the 2019 budget and will be used to finance the state budget deficit.
