Azerbaijan, Baku, 24 October / Trend , corr. I.Khalilova /"The National Bank of Azerbaijan (NBA) and State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) take preventive measures and will introduce the most conservative model. Therefore there is no danger of losing of incomes from currency reserve management," Elman Rustamov, NBA Chairman of the Board, said. 

"The conservative model envisages placement of funds in central banks of leading countries and international finance institutes with state status," Rustamov said.
