YEREVAN, February 17. \/ARKA\/.<\/strong> A total of 5.37 billion drams worth transactions with government securities were effected in 2011 at NASDAQ OMX Armenia stock exchange, a slight decrease from the previous year, Konstantin Saroyan, director of the stock exchange, said on Friday.<\/p>\n

The amount of stock transactions doubled in 2010, compared with 2009.<\/p>\n

Saroyan said transactions on short-term government bonds accounted for 39.2, long-term transactions for 31.9%, and mid-term transactions for 28.9% of the deals.<\/p>\n

The contraction of amount, he said, was due to certain factors.<\/p>\n

First, commercial banks, being guided by the central bank\u2019s decisions, keep trading government bonds by using off-market methods.<\/p>\n

He said that the regulator provides the same services for free, while the stock exchange takes certain commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cConclusion of transactions at the stock exchange is more advantageous, since a just market price is formed here and deals are effected on condition of anonymity,\u201d Saroyan said. \u201cTherefore, there are no bargain deals here. I think business entities, especially banks, should view this as priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

NASDAQ OMX Armenia (former Armenian Stock Exchange, Armex), was established in 2001 as a voluntary merger of 21 broker (dealer) companies.<\/p>\n

In January 2008, Nordic exchange operator OMX Group acquired 100% of shares of the Armenian Stock Exchange (Armex) and the Central Depository of Armenia (CDA).<\/p>\n

Twelve stakes of 11 issuers and five corporate bonds of four issuers were listed here as of February 16, 2012. ($1 \u2013 AMD 389.13). \u20130-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
