YEREVAN, April 14. /ARKA/. A new website - Economic Forecast Platform - was presented in Yerevan. The site will be active at www.efp.am since April 15, Chief of Financial Department of the Central Bank of Armenia (CBA) Artur Nakhshikyan reported after presenting the main monetary and credit policy trends of CBA to the representatives of Armenian banks.
The website will provide forecasts of independent experts on major macroeconomic showings, economic growth, inflation and REPO operations.
The project aims to enhance awareness and interest in macroeconomic developments, as well as to create a room for independent experts acting out of the CBA structure who can get involved in professional discussions and disputes.
Forecast information will be accumulated quarterly and put on the website every 12th day of the month following each quarter. On the same day the CBA will publicize the monetary and credit policy trends for the next quarter and forecasts on economic developments.
The organizers pledge to provide only professional forecast and analysis free of political implication. In fact, experts’ assessments will not necessarily be similar with the official position of the structures they are working with.
University professors, leading specialists of banks and consulting companies, as well as well-known economists will act as experts.
AEPLAC Regional Director Tigran Jrbashyan stressed the importance of avoiding politicization of the website to ensure success for the project. --0--
