CB of Armenia raises refinancing rate 0.5 points to 6.0%

YEREVAN, February 16. /ARKA/. The Central Bank of Armenia has decided to raise refinancing rate by 0.5 percentage points up to 6.0%, the central bank’s press office reported on Tuesday.

“Despite this year’s inflation is expected to exceed the planned benchmark because of inflation pressures of the previous year, its upward movement reaching its peak in the first quarter 2010 will be followed by decrease,” the central bank said.

On January 21, refinancing rate was driven 0.5 percentage points up to 5.5%. -0—
