ArmInfo. In Armenia's interbank foreign exchange  market from August 4 to August 8, 2025, there was a noticeable decrease in ruble transactions amidst a decline in dollar transactions. Euro transactions have not taken place for two and a half months. Particularly, the weekly trend of dollar transactions shifted from a 47% growth to a 21% decline, while ruble transactions, which resumed the previous week, jumped by 86%. This reduced the prevalence of  total weekly  dollar transactions over ruble transactions from 2.5 times to 1.1 times. In parallel with this, in the intra-bank foreign exchange market during the same period (04-08.08.25 compared to 28.07-01.08.25) the growth in purchasing dollars slowed down significantly, while the trend for selling  dollars  increased. The  trend for purchasing-selling euros continued to rise, and in ruble transactions the purchase growth was accompanied by the sales trend going down. As a result, from August 4 to August 8, the dram remained stable against the dollar at  AMD 383.5 /$1, weakened against the euro - AMD 440 to AMD 447/1 EUR, and also weakened against the ruble - AMAD 4.75 to AMD 4.78/1RUB.
