YEREVAN, January 21. /ARKA/. Armenian Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan announced a reduction in the risk premium on Armenian Eurobonds.
“We have a historically low risk premium. If in March 2025 we issued Eurobonds at a rate of 7.1%, and the risk premium was 2.86%, or 286 basis points, then in January 2026, this figure was 196 basis points, or 1.96%. If we had issued these Eurobonds today, the rate, all other things being equal, would have been 0.9 basis points lower,” he said at the final press conference on Wednesday. On March 5, 2025, Armenia placed $750 million in Eurobonds on the international capital market, with a yield of 7.1% and a maturity of 10 years.
Central Bank of Armenia Governor Martin Galstyan told ARKA news agency in early May last year that demand for these Eurobonds amounted to $2.5 billion.
