Greek term or phrase: από διμήνου

... αναφέρουμε ότι, από διμήνου, η ελληνική κυβέρνηση ανακοίνωσε την κατάργηση της μέχρι τώρα νέας Εποπτικής Αρχής ... και την εντός τριμήνου υπαγωγή της ...

How do you understand από διμήνου here?

This is really a question about usage (because this doesn't seem to be the sort of thing you can look up in dictionaries or grammar books): can από διμήνου be understood in two different senses, "two months ago" and "for the past two months"?

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks. Yes, given the way the sentence is put together, it's entirely logical to take it in the sense of "two months ago". It's just that my previous experience of expressions of this type (not that I've seen any lately) gave rise to some doubts.
