US dollar rises by 0.37 percentage point over Armenian dram

Converse Bank and Asian Development Bank (ADB) have signed a financing agreement of up to USD 15 million aimed at expanding access to finance for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Armenia, including women-led businesses, and promoting sustainable investments.

The Armenian government forecasts stable economic growth of 5.4-5.6% annually in the medium term, stated RA Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan.

The average market exchange rate for the US dollar against the Armenian dram, formed on the Armenian foreign exchange market as of June 30, 2026, fell by 0.17 points compared to June 29, to 367.89 drams.

Paralympic gold medalists and U.S. Sports Envoys Rose Hollermann and Steve Serio visited Armenia to conduct a wheelchair basketball masterclass and an exhibition game. Unibank and the “Vanq” Charity Fund jointly sponsored the concluding event held in Yerevan, supporting an initiative that combined sport with a powerful message of determination, resilience, and overcoming barriers. 

An additional 10 billion drams will be allocated from the 2026 state budget of Armenia for a cashback program for pensioners making non-cash payments.
