ARKA News Agency congratulates you on the incoming year 2025!

The Armenian brokerage market continues to grow, but its future development will be determined not so much by the number of open accounts as by its ability to attract and retain active investors.

Ardshinbank and Ameriabank accounted for 50.30% of the net growth in assets and 51.58% of the net growth in loan portfolios among Armenian banks during the third quarter of 2026, according to an operational bulletin from the ARKA news agency.

Opportunities for attracting private capital, expanding public-private partnerships (PPPs), and implementing the "Crossroads of Peace" project were discussed at a meeting between Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan and an Asian Development Bank (ADB) delegation led by Vice President Wempi Saputra.

The Central Bank of Armenia plans to implement the concepts of Open Banking and Open Finance in the coming years, as well as change its approach to banking licensing. This was stated by Central Bank Chairman Martin Galstyan in an interview with Hetq.

The Armenian Ministry of Finance is developing a comprehensive framework for issuing thematic bonds in domestic and international capital markets.
