As of March 31, 2026, the total loan portfolio of Armenian banks stood at AMD 8.01 trillion, marking a 22.63% rise compared to March 31, 2025, and a 4.05% increase from December 31, 2025.
The loan portfolio of Armenia's banking system increased by 29.89% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter of 2024, reaching AMD 7.16 trillion.
In February 2026, commercial bank deposits in Armenia decreased by 0.2% (MoM), while lending grew by 0.9% (MoM), according to the World Bank's "Armenia Monthly Economic Update – April 2026."

In March, Armenia's inflation rose to 4.5 percent (yoy) from 4.3 percent (yoy) in February, according to World Bank's Armenia Monthly Economic Update – April 2026.
The week in the Armenian financial market was influenced by updated assessments from international financial institutions, monetary policy signals, and the continued stability of the foreign exchange market.
The Central Bank of Armenia should be prepared to raise the refinancing rate as needed to return inflation to the target level amid rising inflationary pressures and heightened uncertainty, stated Alexander Timan, head of the IMF mission to Armenia.
Amid the S&P 500's worst quarter since 2022, rising global anxiety, and persistent geopolitical uncertainty, investors are increasingly asking whether this is a temporary market reaction or a deeper shift in investment logic.
Capital market development in Armenia is increasingly dependent not only on the growth in the number of issues and the expansion of instruments, but also on the quality of the environment in which investors make decisions.
The digital infrastructure of the Armenian capital market has made significant progress in recent years, but the market still lacks a more robust regulatory and technological framework for the full development of new financial instruments.
The capital market of Armenia is undergoing a significant transformation: there is an increasing interest in bonds, foreign investors are becoming more engaged, and there is a rising demand for new financial instruments, ranging from IPOs to digital assets
