Pashinyan expects mortgage rate to drop

YEREVAN, August 23. /ARKA/. In a live Facebook stream on August 22 evening Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said he expects mortgage rates to drop further. According to him, over the past three months, mortgage lending rates have decreased by 1-1.5%.

“This is a small but important step; we hope that along with the growing activity in the real estate market this trend will continue,” Pashinyan said.

He said the most important role of the government in this process will be to provide assistance.
