Outlooks for Armenian dram devaluation melting away

Gabrielyan said that the central bank acted as purchaser.

The deputy chairman of the central bank also said that investors’ interest in securities had already started growing.

On March 3, 2009, the Central Bank of Armenia returned to the floating exchange rate policy.
