He said many people describe the banking system’s ability to survive the velvet revolution without shocks as ‘fantastic; moreover, confidence in banks is on the rise as well as the volume of deposits.

“Given the current trends, we considered the possibility of raising the deposit insurance threshold but decided to approach this issue differently. We are now searching for companies that will be ready to enter the IPO market,” said Pashinyan, stressing that the government is ready to encourage such companies.
He said this will allow the population to diversify their investments by buying company shares, to activate the stock exchange and the capital market.

“This will allow citizens to invest not only in bank deposits, but also receive other incomes. It will allow companies to attract additional funds,” said Pashinyan, stressing that this could also prompt the banks to start cutting loan interest rates.
