RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan received a delegation led by IMF Deputy Managing Director Murillo Portugal. The IMF Deputy Managing Director is in Armenia to attend the celebrations of the 15th anniversary of Armenia's national currency. At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Portugal mentioned that the jubilee itself testifies that the government of Armenia has so far succeeded in its monetary policy.
During the meeting, the parties discussed the global crisis development scenarios and the Government's anti-crisis action. Tigran Sargsyan briefed the guest on RA government's approaches and policies, which imply the maintenance of those benchmarks set for the domestic macroeconomic policy and the financial sector, as well as the use of such tools as may foster continued economic growth.
