The Armenian Central Bank, which sets the dram’s exchange rate, argues that its main mission is to suppress inflation, rather than protect local exporters and jobs...

 The Mavens' Word of the Day
The lyrics of my favorite Bob Dylan song, "Moonshiner," has the word "dram" in it: "The whole world's a bottle, and life's but a dram." My dictionary says that it means a small amount of something to drink, but I'm curious as to its origin.
Dram has two meanings referring to fluid measure: one is the specific one, 'a fluid dram', equal to 1/8 of a fluid ounce.
These meanings derive from the use of dram as a unit of weight, equal to 60 grains, or 1/8 of an ounce, in apothecaries' weight (3.88 grams metric), or 1/16 of an ounce in standard avoirdupois weight (1.77 grams metric; apothecaries' and avoirdupois ounces are not identical).

YEREVAN Armenia's national currency, the dram, surged to a new high against the US dollar on Tuesday, continuing its dramatic appreciation which is hitting hard local exporters and ordinary people dependent on external cash remittances.
The dram is now worth 40 percent more, in dollar terms, than it was at the start of its prolonged strengthening in December 2003.
He said that while the CBA is right to assert that the dram has been pushed up by increased remittances, it should have loosened its monetary policy and increased the amount of drams in circulation.

Rapidly growing remittances and a strengthening of the capital and financial account led to an appreciation of the domestic currency, the dram, by 16.6% between 2004 and 2005 (Figure 2.1.2).
A new law that requires certain transactions to be conducted only in drams, as part of the Government's drive toward de-dollarization of the economy, as well as the dram's appreciation, has increased demand for the local currency.
Uncertainty about money demand in light of official efforts to encourage the use of domestic rather than foreign currency, given its appreciation, will require both vigilance and flexibility on the authorities' part in setting monetary policy if target inflation is to be achieved.

Against this background, the Government introduced a national currency, the dram, in November 1993, substantially tightened financial policies, and accelerated the pace of structural reform.
This is important during the period to come, since large structural changes are expected to occur (including changes in the trade pattern after the lifting of the economic blockade), autonomous capital flows remain unpredictable, and since the dram is likely to be undervalued in real terms at present relative to its long-run equilibrium level.
Should demand for drams over the medium term increase more than anticipated, the CBA will respond with a mix of foreign reserve accumulation and exchange rate appreciation.
