YEREVAN, June 3. / ARKA /. The revision of the Central Bank’s key refinancing rate will depend on how inflationary pressures in the economy will manifest, Andranik Grigoryan, head of a Central Bank division in charge of financial system development and stability, said today.

“The Central Bank uses different models to estimate the weighted and neutral rates and based on it sets the key refinancing rate. Depending on various factors, such as  anticipated inflation rate,  inflationary pressures and other indicators the Central Bank may review the refinancing rate either   downward or  upward,’ he said.
