    YEREVAN, July 22. /ARKA/. As of July 1, 2009, Ameriabank's assets
    totaled 86.2bln AMD - an increase of 175.8% as compared with the
    beginning of the year, Tigran Jrbashyan, Director of the Development
    Department, told reporters.

    "The bank retains high growth rates and, according to the latest data,
    is the most rapidly developing bank in the South Caucasus. By July 1,
    2009, Ameriabank's assets had totaled 86.2bln AMD, which allows us
    to estimate the growth at 175.8% as compared with the beginning of
    the year. The assets have increased more than 2.8 times as compared
    with the second quarter last year," Jrbashyan said.

    According to him, the bank's liabilities showed a considerable increase
    in the 2nd quarter as well - 2.28 times as compared with the first
    quarter, with an annual increase of 2.9 times. Jrbashyan said that
    the bank's liabilities reached 65.4bln AMD in the 2nd quarter.

    He reported that the bank recorded the third largest profit in the
    Armenian banking system (554.9mln AMD). The bank's profit showed a
    5.4-fold increase as compared with last year.

    "The growing confidence in the bank has caused changes in the deposit
    structure. Specifically, in the first quarter fixed deposits totaled
    20.7bln AMD, call deposits 32.6bln AMD. In the second quarter this
    scheme was considerably changed, whi ch enabled us to speak of rather
    serious financial resources available," Jrbashyan said.

    He reported that in the 2nd quarter fixed deposits totaled 32.2bln AMD,
    and call deposits 27.6bln AMD. As a result, the bank's liabilities
    to clients totaled 60.4bln AMD. Jrbashyan pointed out a considerable
    increase in the amount of deposits of legal entities - up to 25.9bln
    AMD.

    "We are actively working with Rosgosstrakh in insuring individual
    deposits. As a result, the amount of deposits increased by 37% in
    the 2nd quarter, and 3.3 times since the beginning of the year -
    up to 6.3bln AMD," Jrbashyan said.

    He also reported that the bank has the fifth largest assets in the
    Armenian banking system (7.53%), the first largest authorized capital
    and the fourth largest total capital. At the end of the first quarter,
    the bank had the seventh largest liabilities. At the end of the 2nd
    quarter it had the fifth largest liabilities.

    The Ameriabank CJSC (former Armimpexeconombank, renamed last May)
    was founded in July 1992 using the facilities of the Armenian branch
    of the USSR Vnesheconombank. On September 8, 1992, the Central Bank of
    Armenia (CBA) issued a banking license to Ameriabank. In August 2007,
    TDA Holdings Limited, affiliate of the Troika Dialog investment and
    banking group (Russia), purchased the bank's shares.

    As of June 30, 2009, Ameriabank's assets reached 86.2bln AMD,
    liabilities 65.4bln AMD, total capital 20.7bln AMD, authorized capital
