YEREVAN, MAY 9, NOYAN TAPAN. In January-March 2007, non-tax revenues of the RA state budget made 11.6 bln drams (about 32.3 mln USD), as a result of which the quarterly program was fulfilled by 207.4% and the index of the same period of 2006 was exceeded 2.6fold. According to data of the RA Ministry of Finance and Economy, the growth in non-tax revenues was mainly conditioned by payment of 4 bln 613 mln drams under the reconciliation agreement signed between ArmenTel CJSC and the Armenian government, as well as by an increase in interest payments received from placement of available resources. Their amount made 771.5 mln drams, exceeding by 740 mln drams the index of the first quarter of 2006. Besides, a growth in non-tax revenues was also registered with respect to revenues from lease of state institutions and property (except for land) - (a growth by 39.1% or 18.4 mln drams), interest paid by residents for the use of state loans (a growth of 32.7% or 34 mln drams), as well as with respect to revenues from penalties used by executive and court bodies for various offences (a growth of 24.7% or 98.2 mln drams). A decline in non-tax revenues compared with the same period of last year was registered with respect to monetary resources transferred to the state as donation, and revenues from alienation of property not representing fixed assets or material assets, which amounted to 29.8 mln drams, which was less by 597.2 mln drams than the respective index of last year. This is due to the fact that donation of 511 mln drams was made to the Armenian government by Armenia - International Airports CJSC for servicing the EBRD credit program of Zvartnots cargo complex. Without this sum, the decline in the indicated revenues made 74.3% or 86.3 mln drams.
