Yerevan /Mediamax/. "NASDAQ OMX Armenia" is not going to introduce derivative exchange instruments in 2010, Stock Market General Director Armen Melikyan stated in Yerevan today.

Armen Melikyan specified that in view of small number of market participants, in case of introduction, derivative instruments will be mainly used for speculative purposes, that is why the leadership of Stock Exchange decided to delay this process. 

Speaking of introduction of new exchange platform of interbank loan resources, Armen Melikyan said that this platform is planned to be launched in the middle of April 2010.

Earlier, during the interview with Mediamax, "NASDAQ OMX Armenia" Marketing and Communications Department Head Ruzanna Sargsyan informed that by launching a new platform, the stock exchange will offer market participants a new service, which daily demand may make about 1bln AMD.

"At first, only overnight in AMD will be circulated in loan exchange platform: then it is supposed to introduce more long term financial instruments. Tenders in this platform will take place in terms of constant bilateral auction and in anonymous regime. Participation fee will be set for the banks, wishing to take part in tenders", said Ruzanna Sargsyan, adding that commissions, charged by the stock exchange as a result of deals, will be very low, for the purpose to rule out any influence on prices of loan resources.
