AMX’s key goal is integration into international capital markets – CEO

YEREVAN, May 29. /ARKA/. One of the key goals of the Armenia Securities Exchange (AMX) is the integration of the Armenian capital market into international markets, stated AMX CEO Hayk Yeganyan.

“The ultimate goal of the capital market is to create an infrastructure and conditions so that, for example, the funds of American institutional investors from pension and other funds can become accessible to the Armenian economy. This is our ultimate goal,” he said in response to a question from ARKA news agency on the sidelines of an international conference dedicated to AMX’s 25th anniversary.

On March 30, 2026, the Central Depository of Armenia (CDA) and the Central Securities Depository of Uzbekistan (UzCSD) signed a cooperation agreement, under which the CDA will open a foreign nominee account with UzCSD. This will allow for the recording and safekeeping of securities, as well as transaction servicing and corporate actions, in accordance with international standards.

Yeganyan expressed confidence that interest in Armenia’s capital market and infrastructure companies will grow.

“The greater the interest, the greater the accessibility and visibility of the Armenian market, and, consequently, international partners will be more interested in our economy,” he said.

In turn, Tomasz Bardzilowski, Director General of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, stated that Armenia’s capital market and stock exchange have a strong foundation for further development.

“You have a strong infrastructure and a very active government bond market. Now is an excellent time to develop other segments of the capital market, particularly the corporate bond market, and, in the future, the equity and derivatives markets,” he emphasized.
