ArmInfo.At a Cabinet meeting on Thursday, Armenia's Premier Nikol Pashinyan warned against breaking the Law on Restrictions on Cash Circulation. 

"From July 1, 2022, apartments and cars can be purchased or sold only  by means of cashless settlements.  Otherwise, in case of any property  disputes, such transactions will be invalidated," he said. 

In her turn, Armenia's Minister of Health Anahit Avagyan said that  all the medical centers working in Yerevan switched over to cashless  payments on July 1, 2022. This system will be effective throughout  Armenia from July 1, 2024.  

The Law on Cashless Settlements, as well as related laws, will take  effect in Armenia from July 1, 2022.  The laws were drafted by the  Central Bank of Armenia and impose restrictions on cash circulation.  The government believes the law will play a crucial role on  corruption control and ensuring transparency of cash circulation.
