In other words, bonds with a similar maturity have never had such a low quotation,&#8221; he said on Monday during a discussion of the draft state budget for 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about Eurobond yields, the minister said that interest rates on them reflect the real perception of Armenia among foreign investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Armenia&#8217;s risk premium has declined since the beginning of the year and continued to decline sharply after the agreement signed on August 8,&#8221; he said. On September 26, 2019, Armenia, represented by the Ministry of Finance, placed Eurobonds on the international capital market for a total of $500 million with a 10-year maturity and a coupon yield of 3.95%, significantly lower than the coupon yield of the previous two bond issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September of this year, the head of the Central Bank of Armenia, Martin Galstyan, stated that Armenia&#8217;s risk premium had decreased by 15-20 basis points following the initialing of the peace agreement with Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 19, Fitch Ratings stated that the achievement of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan is unlikely to immediately impact the ratings of both countries, but could contribute to positive medium-term trends in the credit sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The risk premium on Eurobonds maturing in 2029 is 197 basis points, stated Armenian Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":262164,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","tstyn_error":""},"categories":[12147,9216],"tags":[12713],"class_list":{"0":"post-267702","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bonds-am-en-en","8":"category-news","9":"tag-state-debt"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
