    Volume of overnight transactions makes AMD 750mln over five
    stock-exchange business days

    PanARMENIAN.Net -

    Based on results of five stock-exchange business days, the volume of
    overnights provided to (and, accordingly, received by)
    banks-participants of the auctions totaled AMD750mln, the weighted
    average interest rate made 6.2% per year, CEO of NASDAQ OMX Armenia
    Armen Melikyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent.

    `Taking into consideration the fact that this instrument of
    stock-exchange is aimed at securing not only the transparency of the
    process of establishment of interest rates for overnight credits, but
    also at assisting banks in more efficient administration of financial
    resources, the stock exchange expects further increase in the volume
    of transactions at this platform,' noted he.

    The CEO added that the stock-exchange commissions for transactions at
    the credit market are set at the minimum level not to affect the cost
    of credit resources.

    Financial Director of HSBC Bank Armenia Gevorg Tarumyan reported that
    the bank is in process of signing an agreement on this instrument
    usage. `We plan to sign an agreement with NASDAQ OMX Armenia next
    week,' noted he.

    Mr. Tarumyan also noted that this instrument will allow decreasing the
    inter-bank interest rates during a short period of time.

    The platform for inter-bank overnight credits was launched by NASDAQ
    OMX Armenia stock-exchange on April 2, 2010.
