    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ CBA board confirmed monetary policy program for
    the first quarter of 2010 Wednesday, February 10, the bank's press
    service reported.

    as stipulated by the Armenian Law on State Budget, and approved by

    transparent and open to public, which serve the best warrant for the
    general public's confidence in the monetary policy implemented by
    the CBA.

    the financial system of Armenia; provision of necessary conditions
    for stability, liquidity, solvency and normal activity of the banking
