Interest rates going down in Armenia – central bank

YEREVAN, December 19. /ARKA/. Interest rates on both deposits and loans are going down throughout the last few years, Andranik Grigoryan, chief of the Armenian central bank’s division in charge of stability and development of the country’s financial system, told journalists on Tuesday.
