YEREVAN, September 10. /ARKA/. Valeri Ovsyannikov, General Manager
of VTB Bank (Armenia), stated on Monday the bank intends to enter
Armenia’s loan market in 2009.
"We believe we should enter market with a sufficient amount of funds,
but we are not sure the market is ready to absorb this amount now,"
Ovsyannikov said. He pointed out that it is at least $20-30mln.
The bank intends to enter Armenia’s loan market as "a trial balloon".
"We would like to work the plan through and, maybe, raise a loan
but it is a next-year issue and it will depend on the market,"
Ovsyannikov said.
The VTB Bank (Armenia) CJSC (Armsavingsbank CJSC until June 20, 2006)
has been a VTB Group member since April 2004. VTB Bank is sole owner
of VTB Bank (Armenia) CJSC.
