    allocated made 70,9% and the grater part of these sources were
    directed to crediting the physical entities. According to the experts,
    in fact, the commercial banks finance the development of the Armenian
    economy, including the agricultural spheres.

    (122,3% or AMD 2.7 and 3.3 billion). BTA Investbank secured the

    purchasing the 48,9% of the Mezhinvestbank shares. The lowest level of
    investment activities was secured by "HSBC Bank Armenia" (39,0% or AMD
