DE-DOLLARIZATION WITHIN EEU IMPORTANT TO ARMENIA BECAUSE OF TIES WITH IRAN - EXPERT
YEREVAN, March 12. /ARKA/. Russian president Vladimir's Putin
instruction to the central bank and the cabinet to consider the
issue of currency integration within the EEU implies that opinions
of Minsk, Astana and Yerevan shall be considered, political analyst
Sergey Shakaryants told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.
It guarantees well enough that no rush decisions will be made,
Shakaryants said, as cited by Novosti-Armenia referring to RIA Novosti.
According to the analyst, Russian leaders make a decision based on
the fact that the Russian Federation and China, as well as China and
Kazakhstan have already decided to abandon dollar in their bilateral
payments. In February, Iran decided to trade with other countries in
any currency other than US dollar.
Russia and Kazakhstan have already taken the first steps to
de-dollarize their foreign trade, with their leading trade partners
outside the EEU in particular, Shakaryants said.
The new terms of trade and mutual payments will be soon even more
important to Yerevan than to some other EEU member states, due to
close trade and economic ties with Iran, the analyst said.
Yet, it is premature to say to what extent the four EEU member
countries are prepared for transition to a single currency, the expert
said. -0--
