The Central Bank of Armenia's Board has opted to keep the refinancing rate steady, primarily because of the balance between supply and demand,  stated  the head of the bank, Martin Galstyan.

Armenian Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan reported that the country's corporate bond market grew more than 4.4-fold between 2018 and 2025.

In recent years, a significant portion of Armenia's banking system profits has been generated by exported banking services, according to Martin Galstyan, the chairman of the Central Bank.

The average market exchange rate for the US dollar to the Armenian dram on February 2, 2026, increased by 0.39 points compared to January 30, reaching 379.03 drams.

In January, Armenia's financial system evolved within the macroeconomic and monetary-credit frameworks previously established. The monetary policy adhered to the parameters set for late 2025, the banking sector continued to enhance credit intermediation, and debt policy remained a priority for financial authorities and investors.
