Artashes Geghamyan: Do not smear CB

Artashes Geghamyan today spoke in parliament in the name of the Republican Prty (HHK) faction during the discussion of Central Bank's monetary policy program for 2015. He advised ‘separate orators’ to specify in which direction the country’s great potential should be used. “I do not want my words to be interpreted as a slip of tongue therefore I shall present official figures. In eight years, deposits have increased by 301 % (if we calculate by the dram) and by 367% (calculated by the dollar). We need not worry about inflation. The aim is to ensure the economic growth. All expenses that affect cost price cut down. Our banks enjoy great confidence abroad as not a single international organization would agree to give loans to a bank if the latter does not have capital,” he said. Mr Arshakyan called on all opponents not to smear the CB which employs thousand some people.
