Banks’ lending reduced by 3.5% to AMD 2 465.8 billion by late September mainly because of Anelik Bank’s indicators – the bank changed its lending policy and stopped investing money in large projects, and as a result, its lending shrank 69.2%.

Liabilities of the country’s banks grew 0.38% to AMD 440.2 billion. Liabilities to clients here amounted to AMD 2 409.5 billion after growing 3.59%.

The slow growth of banks’ liabilities was due to a 68.6% decrease in Anelik Bank’s liabilities to clients.
