Lending rates to go down 1-2% by yearend
As result of RA CBA's policy, the lending rates may go down 1-2% by the end of the year, according to Ameriabank director general Artak Hanesyan.

"Reduction of lending rates is first of all conditioned by reduction of deposit rates," he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"A 5% rate seems to be the most convenient," he said.

Mr. Hanesyan also voiced hope that the bank's lending activities will be revived by the end of the year.
