Both the purchasing power of the population and the number of people itself decreased in Armenia, Armenian Report said with reference to the Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper.

"Newspaper sources close to the banking system of Armenia said that this year's major importers predict more modest costs from the part of the population for the New Year and have planned their seasonal import with this in mind," the newspaper said.
