The social package has been in operation since 2012, it has fulfilled its function, the program will end next year. Minister of Labor and Welfare Arsen Torosyan announced this today, October 1, during a briefing after the government session, adding that the social package program will end in January 2027. According to Torosyan, instead of the social package, the state provides higher quality medical insurance to working citizens, which will also be available for those earning less than 200,000 drams from January 2027. "The program of the social package was As a solution for a certain group of government employees, it was considered a substitute for salary increases, which has lost its relevance. Different beneficiaries of the social package benefit from the various reforms made by the state in recent years, and will also benefit from the new systems introduced from January 1, 2027. Our citizens, who now have a social package, will of course continue to own the money that is in their accounts, because we have approximately 13 billion drams of accumulated money in banks. Of course, the government will also define the direction of their spending with a special decision, which probably will not differ much from today's direction, but the discussions are ongoing, we still do not have a final decision on that. We must also take into account that the salaries of public servants will increase from January 1st, they are tens of thousands of our citizens who are also beneficiaries of the social package, and you also know that from January 1st there are people who receive a salary of less than 200,000. "The people of Dhaka will also be involved in health insurance," the minister emphasized.
