The Central Bank of Armenia (CBA) was the first
institution among its peers in the CIS countries that has moved to the
fully-fledged inflation-targeting policy since January 2 2006. This policy
provides that the primary goal of monetary policy, i.e. a low and stable
inflation level is realized not only by following developments in the
monetary base but also looking at other factors as well. In an
inflation-targeting strategy, the primary tool is the refinancing (repo)
rate which the Board of CBA sets each month.
