    "The economic system of Armenia is stable, sufficiently capitalized
    and is ready to resist the future challenges of the crisis," the
    Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Armenia stated.

    Taking into consideration the continuous worsening terms of trade and
    slowing capital inflows in the current stage of the global financial
    crisis, the CBA Board decided to limit currency interventions and
    return to free float policy. That latter will allow the exchange
    rate to be formed in line with the current macroeconomic indices,
    which will considerably improve the external competitiveness of the
    country and will promote the process of creation of new jobs.

    The Central Bank expects the dram to average 360-380 to dollar. The
    refinancing rate was raised by 100 basis points to 7.75 percent.
