Key developments and challenges

Armenia’s economy is expected to contract by about 12 per cent in 2009 in the wake of the global economic downturn. However, it is expected to record positive growth in 2010, partly as a result of the significant concessional finance packages from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and Russia. Further improvements in relations with Turkey could make a significant positive contribution to Armenia’s trade balance. Continuing the ambitious pension reform agenda and safeguarding key social expenditure will be the main fiscal challenges in 2010.

Our strategy in Armenia

The Bank’s main focus over the coming years will be on infrastructure and the enterprise and financial sectors.

In developing infrastructure, the  EBRD will continue its support of creditworthy renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, and promote further development of Armenia’s energy sector by financing the country’s leading privately-owned power generation and distribution companies.

In the enterprise sector, the EBRD will continue to finance MSMEs, finance creditworthy large enterprises and place emphasis on expanding the Bank’s TAM/BAS advisory services.

In the financial sector, the Bank will strengthen financial intermediation in Armenia. This  includes encouraging consolidation in the banking sector, through financing the best local banks.
