YEREVAN, December 14. /ARKA/. Armenia’s 12-month inflation at the end of 2021 will be 8.4-8.5%. Chairman of Central Bank of Armenia Martin Galstyan said at a press conference today.

He said under these conditions, it is projected that the 12-month inflation will gradually decline and consolidate around the 4% target in the projected medium-term period.
