This decision was made based on the decision of the CBA board, a message from the bank said on Feb.16.
“It was decided to pursue the exchange rate policy based on the bi-currency basket mechanism which includes the US dollar and euro,” said the message. “This is while CBA will continue participating in the country’s currency market within a certain currency corridor.”
