Presenters

Mr. Hayk Avetisyan, Director, Macroeconomic Directorate, Central Bank of Armenia

 

   
Armenia has recently introduced significant changes to its monetary policy framework. In 2024 the Central Bank of Armenia (CBA) adopted a risk management approach to price stability, known as FPAS Mark II. This new framework replaced the traditional baseline scenario with scenario analysis for decision-making and communication. The CBA conducts monetary policy within a risk management framework to analyze and communicate the uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook more effectively. Since the framework was launched recently, a profound assessment of it will require time and observation. For the detailed information please click here
