Thus, from the EU, within the framework of grant programs provided  for by the Armenia-EU action program within the framework of the  European Neighborhood Policy, budget assistance in the amount of 5.3  billion drams or 9 million euros will be received for reforms in the  judicial sector.

Funding for other targeted grants next year will amount to 22 billion  drams or 44.6 billion US dollars, instead of 22.6 billion drams  approved in 2021 and actual 5.9 billion drams in 2020.

The expenditures of the state budget of Armenia in 2022, compared  with the indicator set in the state budget for 2021, will grow by  18.2% - up to 2 trillion 188.4 billion drams. State treasury revenues  and official transfers in 2022 will amount to 1 trillion 946.2  billion drams (24.7% of GDP), against 1 trillion 656.9 billion drams  (23.6% of GDP) expected by the end of this year and actual 1 trillion  560.7 billion drams in 2020 (25.2% of GDP). At the same time, tax  collections and state duty to GDP will grow by 0.9 percentage points  - up to 23.4% and will amount to 1 trillion 843.8 billion drams,  instead of 1 trillion 581.0 billion drams expected at the end of 2021  (22.5%) and actual 1 trillion 385.2 billion drams for 2020 (22.4% of  GDP).

The deficit of the state treasury in 2022 will reach 242.2 billion  drams or 3.1% of GDP, against 329.1 billion drams or 4.7%, expected  at the end of this year and 334 billion drams or 5.4% of GDP for  2020.
