February 1, Fineko/abc.az. For the first time in Azerbaijan, the Central Bank has created an interbank organized foreign exchange market.

ABC.AZ. reports that CBA chairman Taleh Kazimov stated about this at a press conference.

The chief banker noted that this platform has been created since 9 January of this year.

"Banks can now sell and buy currency in this market. With the help of this platform, a bank with currency deficit can close its deficit, and a bank with surplus can sell it," the CBA chairman said.

He added that the lack of bank orders at 2 currency auctions in January and their small number at other auctions is primarily linked with decrease in demand and the launch of the first interbank organized currency market.
