PRICES OF IMPORTED GOODS ROSE
Prices of imported goods and services if converted to a US dollar
amount rose by 2.8% in the first quarter of 2013 compared with last
year, the Central Bank report states. In the fourth quarter of 2012
it was 2.2%. According to the report, the rise of prices of imported
goods and services were prompted by depreciation of the US dollar in
the first quarter of 2013. At the same time, the increase of prices
compared to the same period last year was mainly due to increase of
prices of consumer goods. The report states that the 2.8% increase of
prices of imported goods and services and a 5.1% drop in the exchange
rate of USD in the reporting period pushed the cost of goods included
in the subsistence basket by 7.1% from the same period in 2012. ($
1 is equal to AMD 414.14).
