the county’s exporters, who for the last 3 years were in a much worse
state as compared to importers," Prosperous Armenia Party leader,
major entrepreneur Gagik Tsarukyan told a news conference on Tuesday.

According to Tsarukyan, Armenia should by guided by the developed
countries, practicing floating rate policy specifically, Russia.

The dram-to-dollar exchange rate has gone up to AMD 360/$1 in few
hours today against yesterday’s 305 -310 index for sale and purchase
respectively.

The upsurge followed CB President Arthur Javadian’s statement on

According to the Central Bank, the dollar exchange rate will fluctuate
from AMD 360 to 380 in 2009.
