    THE CENTRAL BANK IS NOT TO BE PRESSED

    No pressure was exerted by the President's Office during the change of
    banks with sole administration into banks with group administration,
    claims Vache Gabrielyan, member of the Council of the Central Bank
    (CB).

    Let us remind you that Tigran Sargsyan, president of the CB confessed
    that there are a few banks that are categorically against the
    corporative administration but he assured that he will make them
    do it. Even the heads of commercial and central banks met with the
    President for consultation on this score. Kocharyan supported their
    approach that corporative administration may not go in line with
    the subjective interests of the organization owners. "No, we are not
    subjected to any pressure by the President," repeated Vache Gabrielyan.

    Today a seminar was initiated on this score by the International
    Financial Corporation (IFC). IFC is a substructure of the World
    Bank and deals with the problems of developing countries. IFC
    illustrated a number of examples in order to make the representatives
    of banks invited to the seminar realize the importance of adopting
    the principles of group administration and what prospects of better
    life it will suggest them. IFC studied 21 companies in Russia and
    found out that they registered a fantastic increase of the bank's
    value by 70 000% after they had improved their worst corporative
    administration by raising it to the best one.

    Among Armenian banks "ArmEconomBank" applies the tools of corporative
    administration, and "HSBC" has a group administration. This information
    was presented by Vache Gabrielyan.

    The expenditure of the three-day seminar was compensated by three
    commercial banks along with the Government of the Netherlands and RA
    Central Bank.
