ArmInfo. The currency interbank  of Armenia increased its volume 4.6-fold from May 14 to 18, after  growing 8.3-fold in the previous week.

Parallel to this, dollar  transactions were on the rise in the intra-bank foreign exchange  market, while the euro-s, keeping the downward trend of sales, went  into recession and buying, against which the ruble was bought up with  zero sales dynamics.  Exchange market since the beginning of the year  to this day is empty. As a result, the dram against the dollar on May  14-18 began to strengthen from 486 to 483.3 AMD/USD1, continuing the  revaluation to the euro - from 580 to 570 AMD/EUR1, and also tune to  the ruble - from 7.9 to 7.8 AMD/RUR1. A year earlier, on May 18,  2017, the exchange rate of the dram to the dollar was 483.5 AMD/USD1,  to the euro - 538 AMD/EUR1, and to the ruble - 8.5 AMD/RUR1, which,  in comparison with the current rates, indicates the annual  devaluation of the dram to euro, at revaluation to the dollar and the  ruble.
