RA CB UNDERTAKES HISTORY EXHIBITIONS DEDICATED TO NATIONAL CURRENCY IN
MARZES

VANADZOR, APRIL 11, NOYAN TAPAN. An exhibition dedicated to the
history of the Armenian national currency which also represents
activities of the RA Central Bank was opened in Vanadzor on April
9. As Tigran Sargsian, the Chairman of the RA Central Bank mentioned
at the opening ceremony of the exhibition, it was the first time such
an exhibition was organized outside Yerevan. According to him,
investigations showed that the society does not yet value important
components of independence including the national currency. In the CB
President’s opinion, it is particularly caused by the circumstance
that the stage of stabilization of the state system, which is combined
with economic and social problems, is still going on. Population is
concentrated on their solution and does not pay attention to those
important historic events which he participates in. According to
T.Sargsian, few people saw importance of the national currency at the
initial stage of its circulation, the currency was losing its value
with every passing day which was caused with the distrust towards
it. But time showed that the dram became stable and valued against
foreign currency.
