Armenia Banking Market: Market Dynamics

Drivers

Large Scale Financing for SMEs

In Armenia, the rapid growth of SMEs leads to huge-scale finance and borrowing for SMEs, which stimulates development in the country's banking sector. Also, growing the acceptance and application, through the international financial network, of digital banking innovations would fuel the business growth of the Armenian banking sector. The advanced digital technologies are bringing a new era of market development not only in Armenia but all over the world.

New Operations and regulations

Basel III was adopted by the government, a global regulatory body that implements a series of regulatory changes, risk management measures, and other banking operations. It gives banks the ability, through financial turmoil, to maintain capital reserves to cover losses and conduct their existing offers on the market. Moreover, the banking system’s liquidity rates tend to be high, allowing banks the ability to service customers in their countries at the cost of liquidity.

Restraint

High costs

Despite several years of good economic success, Armenia was negatively and severely impacted by the global economic and financial crisis. The monetary sector of Armenia is underdeveloped and there is minimal interaction with foreign financial markets. The financial sector is described by about 62% of high dollarization, which is one of the region’s largest. This financial polarization, which is anticipated to impede business growth, contributes to large-scale global exchange and remortgaging threats.
