During the month, a dynamic trading environment has been maintained, highlighting growing investor confidence and market activity.
On the primary auction platform of AMX, the allocation volume of government bonds was more than 53․4 billion AMD. Meanwhile, 62 transactions were conducted on the secondary market, with a total volume of more than 21 billion AMD, which exceeds the figure for the same period of the previous year by 135%.

In the corporate bonds market, trading volume increased by 72% compared to the same period last year, reaching approximately 10.5 billion AMD. During the reporting period, 2085 transactions were concluded involving 221 corporate bonds listed on the exchange as of the end of August. This steady growth reflects healthy demand for corporate bonds.

The trade volume of equity reached more than 153.4 million AMD and the market capitalization more than 356.2 billion AMD. A total of 288 transactions were concluded with shares.

The volume of REPO agreements has been more than 22.8 billion AMD. A total of 199 repo transactions were conducted in August, exceeding the same period last year by 361%.

The issues, totalling AMD 8.8 billion, were placed in full and significantly ahead of their originally scheduled closing dates.
The issuers represent a range of sectors, from agribusiness and healthcare to infrastructure construction, industrial production and retail. They include brands widely recognised by the public. The sectoral diversity of the placements enables investors to participate, through the capital markets, in the development of different segments of the real economy, while giving companies access to alternative sources of financing and a broader range of funding instruments.

“We believe these transactions make an important contribution to the development of Armenia’s capital markets and to fostering a new culture in the financial market. Entering the capital markets requires a higher level of financial transparency and accountability, the engagement of independent auditors, and the implementation of appropriate corporate governance mechanisms. These standards strengthen confidence in individual companies and, more broadly, contribute to a more transparent and institutionalised business environment.

In this context, the Government’s “State Support Programme for Issuance and Rating” has played a particularly important role. The support provided under the programme has reduced the cost for companies of accessing the capital market and served as an effective incentive for attracting issuers and supporting the market’s further development. Armenia’s capital markets are active and we hope that similar programmes will continue and further facilitate the entry of new companies into the capital markets,” said Grigor Harutyunyan, Chief Executive Officer of Dimension CJSC.
