YEREVAN, December 16. /ARKA/. The Central Bank of Armenia is pursuing a fairly balanced and consistent policy to ensure the stability of the financial system, particularly in terms of digitalization and market transparency, according to Freedom Broker Armenia Director Hovak Hovakimyan.

“To improve the capital market in Armenia, I would recommend the regulator encourage companies to go public,” he said in an interview with ARKA.

Furthermore, according to Hovakimyan, it is worth working on the regulatory framework for company listings and the introductionof new instruments.

“These procedures should become more digitalized and simpler to increase the attractiveness of this product for companies. The development and regulation of digital assets will also significantly help,” he said.
