Monetary market
Last week the official rate of the manat against the US dollar, set by the Central Bank of Azerbaijan, consolidated by 0.0003 points or 0.03 percent. The average rate was established at 0.80132 manat to 1 U.S. dollar.
The maximum rate of the US dollar compared to manat was established Oct.18 at 0.8015 manat to 1 U.S. dollar and minimum was established Oct.21 and 22 at 0.8012 manat to 1 U.S. dollar.
As a result of last week's exchange rate of the Azerbaijani manat to the U.S. dollar, established based on results from the Baku Inter-bank Currency Exchange (BICEX) remained unchanged at 0.8032 to 1 U.S. dollar.
Deals concluded last week at BEST with transition to currency (T+0) comprised: Oct. 18 - $1.4 million with exchange rate of 0.8032 AZN/USD, Oct. 19 and 20 no deals were concluded. So, the rate remained at the same level of 0.8032 AZN/USD, Oct.21. - $0.3 million with exchange rate of 0.8032 AZN/USD, Oct.22 - no deals were concluded. So, the rate remained at the same level of 0.8032 AZN/USD.
No deal was concluded with USD/AZN T+1 and T+2 due to too few appeals by dealers. Appeals were not received on RUB/AZN and EUR/AZN.
Market of privatization shares
Last week, the price on privatization vouchers remained without changes, with purchases was running for five manat and sales for six manat. President Ilham Aliyev's decree on additional measures to ensure the use of state privatization vouchers prolonged the validity period until Jan. 1, 2011. This decision was made as roughly 80 percent of the vouchers were still in circulation.
