Chairman of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA) Elman Rustamov expressed his attitude to the information spread in the social networks about the likelihood of a new devaluation of the manat. In an interview with reporters, the country's chief banker called it unsupported rumours.

'They just talk, without good reason. To date, there are no prerequisites for the growth of the dollar against the manat. On this occasion, there is a decision of the Central Bank. Dollar appreciation in Azerbaijan is not discussed. The whole macroeconomic situation in Azerbaijan this year is based on macroeconomic stability,' said Rustamov.

According to him, even the fall in oil prices on world markets will not affect the dollar.

'The Government and the Central Bank have a single plan for this. As I said, the macroeconomic situation is under control. In 2017-18, macroeconomic stability reigned in Azerbaijan, and so will be in 2019,' said Elman Rustamov.
