“We are pleased to further strengthen our established cooperation with Ameriabank - a market leader in Armenia and BSTDB  trusted partner since 2014. Thanks to our successful partnership, we have been able to reach out to many SMEs in the country and inject a total of USD 25 million, which otherwise we would not have been able to do directly.  Our new financing is  part of  BSTDB’s continued efforts to help combat the impact of the coronavirus and support the post-pandemic recovery of Armenian economy and we are proud that it comes at a time when development support is most needed.”, said Dmitry Pankin, BSTDB President.

The attracted funds give us the opportunity to provide long-term financing to small and medium enterprises operating in Armenia, thus contributing to development of the sector and enhancement of competitiveness and strengthening the SMEs’ position in the target markets.  This is the third loan instrument issued to Ameriabank by the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank for the purpose of SME financing.  We hope that cooperation between BSTDB and Ameriabank will be continuous, since implementation of target support projects developed for the SME sector is one of the most important directions both for our partners and us.”, said Artak Hanesyan, CEO of Ameriabank.
