Consolidation of Armenia’s banking system to help resist external shocks

YEREVAN, December 29. /ARKA/. Consolidation of the banking system will facilitate external shock resistance, head of the Central Bank of Armenia Artur Javadyan said at a New Year reception in the bank.

According to the head of the central bank, it will help improve the financial system’s strength against outer shocks and increase the competitiveness of the banking system in the region.

Consolidation is a convincing way to do that, Javadyan said as cited by the press office of the regulator.

Let 2015 be a year of peace, achievements and success in overcoming challenges, the head of the central bank said.
