YEREVAN, October 18. /ARKA/. Imports  financing by HSBC Bank Armenia amounted to 20 billion drams in the nine months of 2013, an increase of 31% against the year before, head of the bank’s trade financing Kamo Margaryan told reporters at the 8th trade financing academy Friday.

The achievement was made due to introduction of various trade financing instruments by the bank, including the equipment financing for enterprises launched in April, Margaryan said.
