Not only have banks increased bond issuance, but also the real sector. I think this is a good indicator,&#8221; Galstyan noted at a parliamentary session on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, significant work remains to be done in this area\u2014both in the corporate bond market and in terms of developing the stock market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What our country truly needs are high-quality projects. A paradoxical situation has arisen: we have significant financial resources from both banks and pension funds. In this context, we need real projects that these two institutional structures are willing to finance,&#8221; Galstyan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to bank reports published in accordance with IFRS standards, the net profit of the Armenian banking system for 2025 amounted to 421.3 billion drams, an increase of 16.01% compared to 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first quarter of 2026, banks&#8217; net profit amounted to 103.48 billion drams, compared to 101.18 billion drams for the same period in 2025, an increase of 2.27%.
