    YEREVAN - On September 25, the USAID-funded Enterprise Development and
    Market Competitiveness (EDMC) Project and Small Enterprise Assistance
    Funds (SEAF) Armenia launched a conference entitled "Easing Access to
    Affordable Capital for Competitive Private Businesses." The conference
    focused on private equity finance and investment opportunities
    in Armenia, bringing together representatives of international
    investment institutions and the Armenian business community to discuss
    opportunities and obstacles of investing into the Armenian economy.

    Board Member of the Central Bank of Armenia Armenak Darbinyan, USAID
    Armenia Economic Growth Office Director Naren Chanmugam, and SEAF
    Executive Chairman and Co-Founder Hubertus van der Vaart delivered
    remarks, encouraging businesses to take advantage of the conference to
    learn more about equity finance and application procedures. Conference
    participants included representatives of major financial institutions
    in Armenia, consulting companies, and small and medium enterprises.

    At the conference senior representatives of EBRD Armenia, IFC Armenia,
    and Ameriabank Investment Banking talked about existing investments
    and financing in Armenia, as well as discussed new investment
    opportunities in the area. Participants heard from SEAF Caucasus
    Growth Fund, which has invested in SMEs in Armenia, Georgia, and
    Azerbaijan since 2012, and from Grant Thornton, which has conducted
    the "Establishing a Private Equity Fund in Armenia" feasibility study,
    through EDMC support. Private companies and investors also presented
    real-life examples and success stories during the event.

    The conference enabled key players in the field of equity finance to
    coordinate efforts and facilitated a dialogue between companies and
    financial institutions to help raise awareness about equity finance
    and spur future investments.
