YEREVAN, April 1. /ARKA/. Armenian Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan discussed today the 5th revision of the Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) at a meeting with IMF Armenian mission chief Iva Petrova.

Hovhannisyan spoke about the country’s economic development forecasts and measures implemented within the framework of fiscal policy. The sides discussed the progress in fulfilling the obligations assumed under the reserve program, as well as a number of other issues related to the reforms and risks of the financial sector, the press service of the Ministry of Finance reported.
