    CB: Today the risk of lowering inflation is high

    2009-06-21 10:12:00


    ArmInfo. Today the risk of lowering inflation is high, reports the
    press service of the Central Bank of Armenia.

    GDP is decreasing more quickly than was expected. So, the target
    inflation level will hardly be exceeded due mostly to balanced currency
    rate.

    The CB has repeatedly pointed out the high uncertainty of the
    macroeconomic situation, which is one of the key factors influencing
    inflation. In the future inflation may either grow or drop depending on
    the results of the government's anti-crisis programs and the behavior
    of the economy.

    June 9 2009 the CB reduced the official rate from 6.25% to 6%. The
    interest rates of deposits and lombard credits are 3% and 9%,
    respectively.
