Armenia’s Central Bank announces intervention in forex market to ensure steady functioning of financial markets

YEREVAN, January 13. /ARKA/. Armenia’s Central Bank said today it is going to intervene in the foreign exchange market to ensure the steady functioning of the country’s financial markets.
