    FIRST FINANCIAL AND BANKING CONFERENCE IN ARMENIA

    Union of Armenian Banks held its first financial and
    banking conference in the hall of `Mountainous
    Armenia" vacation home in Dilijan (Armenia).

    RA President, Prime Minister, Chairman of Central Bank
    and heads of organizations of financial and banking
    system participated in the conference.

    The aim of the conference was to clarify the basic
    directions of future development of the financial and
    banking system in Armenia, also the role of the system
    in the approaches and programs of RA general
    development.

    President Serge Sargsian mentioned in his speech that
    the financial system of Armenia has a real potential
    to become a financial center in the region.

    "We'll bring experience, modern methods and form
    stable traditions of activities in financial markets.
    In this sense entrance of the Stockholm Exchange to
    Armenia I qualify positively and we should continue
    taking of similar influential steps.

    Serge Sargsian highlighted the progress of the
    financial and banking system and mentioned that it can
    serve as a locomotive for all the branches of the
    economy and for the solution to the problems of the
    population. According to the President, one of the
    important sides of the financial and banking system
    are the economic processes and introduction of a
    culture based on confidence in public relations

    The Armenian financial sphere has also another issue
    in its way of development; the factor of proportionate
    development. According to the President, it is
    impossible to get serious results if the economic
    development is not felt by each citizen.

    Prime Minister Tigran Sargsian touched upon the issue
    how to become a financial center. According to him,
    the works should be carried out in 6 directions.
    These, in their turn, will reveal the relative
    superiorities of Armenia. The international experience
    dictates where those superiorities are.

    The PM mentioned that several advantages are available
    in Armenia compared with the regional countries.
    First, comparatively inexpensive manpower that is
    fluent in Russian, English, etc. Second, the payment
    and accounts system functioning in real period of
    time, and third, the readiness to become a financial
    center that assumes political will to carry out
    necessary amendments and form corresponding
    legislation.

    During the conference a film was shown dedicated to
    the analysis of the financial centers' international
    experience, and then took place the presentation of
    the "Code of rules of banking business ethic" worked
    out by the Union of Armenian Banks.

    After the conference RA President, Prime Minister and
    Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank visited the new
    building of the educational center of the Armenian
    Stock Exchange and Central Bank.
