-
"We are positively assessing the progress achieved by Turkmenistan in implementing economic reforms in the last one and a half year, particularly the latest measures with regard to adopting a unified exchange rate of Manat," said Peter Wingley, head of the IMF mission for Turkmenistan, said. P.Wingley made this statement in the course of annual consultations with the IMF mission in Ashgabat, the Turkmen State News Agency (TDH) reports. "This step in combination with other supporting reforms is quite useful in furthering the economic and financial development of Turkmenistan and its successful integration into the world economy. The IMF mission will continue providing support to reforms in Turkmenistan, including the forthcoming denomination of the national currency, Manat, in 2009," Peter Wingley said. Let us recall that Turkmenistan introduced a unified exchange rate of manat to foreign currency on May 1 which was set by the Central Bank of Turkmenistan at Manat 14,250 per one US dollar.
