    ARMENIA'S CENTRAL BANK IS HINDERING COUNTRY'S STOCK EXCHANGE?

    YEREVAN. - The NASDAQ OMX Armenia stock exchange is working with
    a loss, its General Manager Konstantin Saroyan said during a press
    conference on Friday.

    According to Saroyan, the stock exchange was working with a loss even
    prior to the financial crisis. And the reason, in his view, is that
    the exchange has very little profits. And there are two causes for
    the low profits: First, the rates at the stock exchange are not high;
    and second, Armenia's Central Bank (CB) offers other platforms for
    market trading, and without any fees; and that is why the banks very
    often prefer CB's systems.

    "Under other equal terms the banks will prefer the free service. In our
    view, no service must be free [of charge], since the stock exchange
    secures a safe and effective mechanism for signing business deals,"
    Konstantin Saroyan maintained.
