A summary visual of the CBA’s latest exchange rates with Armenian dram, dollar, euro and ruble cues against Yerevan and Mount Ararat

Summary. On the morning of 29 October 2026, the latest official series available from the Central Bank of Armenia was dated 28 October: USD 1 equalled AMD 360.51, EUR 1 equalled AMD 400.96, and RUB 1 equalled AMD 4.4754. All three rates were slightly lower than in the previous release, but the CBA’s average rate is not a price at which a bank or exchange office must buy or sell currency.

What changed in one day

  • US dollar: AMD 360.51, down AMD 0.42, or about 0.12%, from AMD 360.93.
  • Euro: AMD 400.96, down AMD 1.40, or about 0.35%, from AMD 402.36.
  • Russian ruble: AMD 4.4754, down AMD 0.0032, or about 0.07%, from AMD 4.4786.

The one-week picture is mixed. Compared with 21 October, the dollar is lower by AMD 0.89 (about 0.25%), the euro by AMD 4.96 (about 1.22%), while the ruble is higher by AMD 0.0633 (about 1.43%). These figures describe the published numerical change only and do not, by themselves, explain its causes.

Why the CBA rate may differ from a bank’s rate

The CBA publishes average exchange rates formed in the foreign-exchange market. The dram’s average rate against the US dollar is calculated from purchase and sale transactions in Armenia’s FX market, while cross-rates are also used for other currencies. The applicable CBA regulation makes clear that these averages are not intended to serve as mandatory transaction prices.

A bank or exchange office’s “buy” and “sell” quotes may differ from the CBA rate and from each other. Before exchanging a large amount, compare both live quotes and any applicable fee.

What this means for readers

For illustration, USD 1,000 equals AMD 360,510 at the CBA average rate of 360.51, while EUR 1,000 equals AMD 400,960. The actual cash or cashless result may differ because of the bank’s buy/sell spread, transfer fees and the time at which the quote is refreshed.

If the payment is not urgent, compare the rate in your bank’s app with the branch rate at the same moment. Do not assume that a one-day movement must continue.

Conclusion

In the latest official series, the dollar and euro both moved lower over one day, while the euro’s 1.22% weekly decline was the most visible move among the three currencies. Treat the CBA figure as a market reference and check your bank’s executable rate before exchanging money.
