    Armenia

    The devaluation of the Armenian dram will have a positive impact on
    exports from Armenia, Chairman of the Union of Banks of Armenia Ararat
    Ghukasyan told a press conference. According to him, the Armenian
    national currency is devaluating in conformity with market mechanisms,
    that is, supply and demand.

    Ghukasyan said the Armenian dram remained stable during the panic
    two weeks ago, which will have a positive impact on the economy.

    "The market shows a favorable behavior, the U.S. exchange rate has
    fallen from U.S. $1/415 AMD down to U.S. $400," Ghukasyan said,
    without making any forecasts.

    As regards consumer prices, he pointed out that they will depend on
    the economic activity in the latter half of this year, as well as on
    money transfers.

    According to official forecasts, a 6-7 per cent price rise is expected
    in Armenia, but numerous economists disagree with the forecasts.
