Converse Bank and Asian Development Bank (ADB) have signed a financing agreement of up to USD 15 million aimed at expanding access to finance for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Armenia, including women-led businesses, and promoting sustainable investments.
Paralympic gold medalists and U.S. Sports Envoys Rose Hollermann and Steve Serio visited Armenia to conduct a wheelchair basketball masterclass and an exhibition game. Unibank and the “Vanq” Charity Fund jointly sponsored the concluding event held in Yerevan, supporting an initiative that combined sport with a powerful message of determination, resilience, and overcoming barriers.
Interest rates on loans in Armenia may decrease if favorable inflation and geopolitical conditions persist, stated Martin Galstyan, Chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia, on Public Television.
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.
Net non-commercial remittances in Armenia increased by 16% year-on-year in April from a low base in 2025, according to the World Bank's "Armenia Monthly Economic Update – June 2026."
As of May 31, 2026, Yerevan's budget revenues totaled 40.3 billion drams, compared to the planned 36.4 billion drams for January-May, reported David Hakobyan, Acting Head of the Revenue Accounting and Collection Department at the Yerevan City Hall.
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
