In addition, since 2022, 16 billion 500 million drams have been returned to pensioners under the cashless transaction refund system (cashback for pensioners and persons receiving benefits when paying by bank card - ed.).
The number of pensioners using the refund system is steadily growing and in December 2024 amounted to 289 thousand 813 people>, - Pashinyan said.
