Ameriabank has Raised USD 17.5M Tier 2 Capital
Ameriabank has signed long-term subordinated loan agreements with total volume of USD
17.5M during recent months, with an option to increase by USD 15M if required. The USD
17.5M sub debt funds, attracted from several partner institutions, qualify as Bank Tier 2
capital under Basel III framework and are aimed at strengthening the overall capital position
of the Bank.
Part of the subordinated debt was attracted from our long standing partners at Symbiotics
aimed at supporting Armenian economy during recovery by financing primarily small and
medium business. This is the second subordinated loan agreement with Symbiotics since
the beginning of the pandemic, with a USD 15M subordinated loan agreement signed in
late 2020.
It was a great pleasure to host Vincent Lehner, Head of Markets at Symbiotics, during his
first post-Covid business trip, to discuss Ameriabank and Symbiotics long-standing
collaboration, as well as overall economic prospects.
“I think it’s a good moment to invest in Armenia. We see Armenia as a very good base for
us, for the development of our business. We invest in the future, in the future of the bank, in
the future of the country, and in the future of our company – Symbiotics, as well. Ameria is
a great partner. Our partnership really shows that we are aligned, we have the same
objectives, we can deliver together what we want, to achieve and support the businesses”,
commented Vincent Lehner during theinterview .
