YEREVAN, December 16. /ARKA/. Currently, Armenia is undergoing a cycle of rate reductions, and there are no anticipated interest rate hikes for 2026. This prediction was shared by Hovak Hovakimyan, the Director of Freedom Broker Armenia, during an interview with ARKA.

“As a result, the bond market is quite appealing at the moment, and I believe this trend will persist into 2026,” he stated.

Hovakimyan noted that the slowdown in inflation has led to an increase in real bond yields.

According to Armstat, the 12-month inflation rate in the Armenian consumer market was recorded at 3.1% in November of this year.
