YEREVAN, November 13. /ARKA/. Ruben Vardanyan, the chairman of
Ameriabank's directorial board and the head of Troika Dialogue Group's
directorial board, told journalists on Thursday at the bank's home
office opening ceremony that Ameriabank intends to develop into
the best commercial banks of Commonwealth of Independent States,
not only Armenia.
"We were in luck, since we enlarged our capital and adopted our
development program right before the recession," he said. "That's why,
despite adverse environment, the bank had a good chance to build up
its capacity. We has grown many times, though it was not so easy to
do it amid the crisis".
Remarkable is that the bank hasn't changed its strategy, "we has come
for a long time and with sufficient financial resources".
"Some products that are usually sold on markets when things go in a
due course, were temporarily left until later," Vardanyan said.
He said Ameriabank wants not only to be profitable, but also
has ambition to set a good example in some types of activities,
particularly by displaying a high sense of commitment toward its
clients and the personnel.
Artak Anesyan, Ameriabank's director general-directorial board
chairman, who spoke at a press conference as well, said that the
next year the bank will pay special attention to widening the rage
of services for corporate clients.
Extension of loans to small- and mid-scale entrepreneurship and those
businesses involved in the energy system will be among these services.
"Besides, we have worked out a new service on running assets,"
he said. "This service will be offered soon. This is a service on
subordinated liabilities and trust management."
The Ameriabank CJSC (former Armimpexbank) was founded in July 1992
using the facilities of the Armenian branch of the USSR Vnesheconombank
(Foreign Economy Bank). On September 8, 1992, the bank received a
banking license from the Central Bank of Armenia.
Last August, TDA Holdings limited, affiliated with Troika Dialogue,
Russia's leading investment company, purchased the bank's shares.
