  • Armenia has asked Russia for a stabilization loan

    Interfax, Russia
    Jan 23 2009


    Armenia has asked Russia for a stabilization loan to mitigate the
    consequences of the financial crisis, the Armenian Finance Ministry
    told


    "Armenia is conducting negotiations with Russia, the World Bank, the
    Asian Development Bank, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and
    Development on a stabilization loan," Armenian Finance Minister Tigran
    Davtyan was quoted as saying by the ministry's press service.

    "We have asked our main financial and technical partners for more
    foreign aid to be ready to deal with the possible consequences of the
    financial crisis," said Davtyan.

    The press service would not give the amount and conditions of the
    loan, saying the negotiations are still in progress.

    On Thursday, Russian Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said Armenia had
    asked Russia for a stabilization loan to deal with the consequences of
    the global financial crisis. "Negotiations are now being conducted on
    the matter," he said.

    An Armenian delegation is currently conducting negotiations in Moscow
    on the provision of financial assistance to assist Armenia during
    financial crisis, Armenian Central Bank Chairman Artur Dzhavadyan told
    reporters on Friday.

    "The Armenian delegation is in negotiations in Moscow on the provision
    of financial assistance. Armenia's request is currently being
    considered," said Dzhavadyan.

    Dzhavadyan would not specify what amount is being discussed.

    "Information will be available after the meetings and negotiations are
    over," he said.
