YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 4, ARMENPRESS. The Cabinet approved the Economic Response Program and the Preliminary Action Plan defining the government’s priority anti-crisis steps, goals and circle of actions.
Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan said that the COVID-19 pandemic and the second Nagorno Karabakh War in 2020 were a “source of economic shock” for the country, besides having posed serious public health and security challenges.
“Official figures are already published, according to which the 2020 economic decline is assessed in the framework of 7-8%. Other main economic indicators also displayed negative dynamics. As a result of several economic actions taken by the government last year, it was possible to somewhat suppress the risk of having a greater decline,” he said.

HAVERHILLâ The Whittier Tech Educational Foundation has launched its annual holiday fund drive to support students and families facing hardships over the holidays.
The fund provides an opportunity for community members to give to Whittier Regional High School students and their families who are in need during the holiday season.
Donations pay for grocery store gift cards, clothing, gifts for students and siblings, and essential items if a student has an extenuating circumstance. The fund helps students and families in need not just during the holiday season, but throughout the year when needs arise.
While any amount you can give will help, three suggested levels of giving are: $75, Adopt a Whittier Student; $175, Adopt a Whittier family and $300, Holiday Hero. Visit the donation site at foundation.whittiertech.org.
