    Asian Development Bank approves $37 million loan for Armenia


    YEREVAN, August 1. / ARKA /. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has
    approved a $37 million loan for Armenia to help it rehabiliate its
    electricity transmission system. The loan will be granted from ADB's
    special concessional fund.

    "The loan is designed to help Armenia make a major overhaul of its
    electricity transmission system inherited from the Soviet era,
    including the expansion of the management and sharing of data and
    modernization of two high-voltage substations," the Manila-based bank
    said in a statement.

    The project is supposed to reduce losses in transmission lines, to
    increase the capacity of substations and improve the quality and
    reliability of power supply in urban and rural communities, which, in
    turn, is beneficial in both economic and social aspects.

    The aim of the ADB is to reduce poverty in Asia and the Far East
    through the inclusive growth of the economy, sustainable development
    and regional integration.

    ADB, created in 1966, includes 67 states. In 2013, ADB assistance
    totaled $21 billion, including co-financing of $6.6 billion.-0-
