Head of Central Bank of Armenia discusses reforms and financial system risks with IMF representatives

YEREVAN, 18 September. /ARKA/. Chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia Martin Galstyan met on Wednesday with a delegation led by IMF mission chief for Armenia Iva Petrova.

The visit takes place within the framework of the fourth revision of the IMF loan programme, the regulator said.

A number of issues related to Armenia’s macroeconomic developments and prospects were discussed with the IMF colleagues.

The sides discussed reforms and risks of the financial system, risk-based supervision, as well as governance reforms of the Central Bank.
