YEREVAN, September 9. /ARKA/. Expansion of Armenia's banking network
is not completed yet, Ashot Osipyan, chairman of the Union of Armenian
Banks, said Friday at a news conference.
"Today about 9,500 people work in Armenia's banking system, while
in late 2010 only 8,700 worked here," he said. "This growth was due
to the fact that banks have enlarged the number of their branches,
opened new divisions, such as risk management and marketing divisions."
Osipyan said this growth would continue. He said that the country's
banks need skilled specialists. That is why training of specialists
is among the banking system's top-priority objectives.
"We find this very important," he said. "Quality, not quantity of
these specialists is important to us."
Some 21 banks with their 417 branches operate in Armenia.
