* Unemployment benefit - $730
* Each family member subsidized by the state gets annually $1,000
* Salary for nurses - $1,000
* For every newborn is paid $7,000
* The bride and groom receive a $64 thousand to purchase flats
* Major taxes and levies prohibited
* To open a personal business a one-time financial assistance of $20,000
