ArmInfo. The Central Bank of Armenia increased the countercyclical capital buffer (CCB) by 0.25% to 2.25% of risk-weighted assets (effective from May 2027), estimating the amount of additional capital needed to absorb unexpected losses from an expected shock of almost 250 billion drams. Central Bank of Armenia Chairman Martin Galstyan stated this in an interview with the research website Hetq (Sled). He noted that, for now, this amount will be sufficient to address potential future risks and scenarios for addressing emerging issues, citing assessments from macro-stress testing. "In recent years, the Central Bank, through one of its instruments – the CBC – has increased capital, indicating the need for additional capital in the event that the positive developments we are seeing cease at a certain time, or a certain reversal occurs. Banks would be prepared for these scenarios," Galstyan emphasized. When asked by the interviewer what the Regulator has provided for citizens in this case, the head of the Central Bank noted that, in the context of financial stability, the Central Bank does not have a mandate to demand a conscientious approach from citizens, but regularly encourages financial literacy and takes measures to increase awareness. "In addition to this, for the Central Bank to assume a paternalistic function of intervening in the decisions of every citizen, I note that the Central Bank does not have such a mechanism, and in fact, there are no countries in the world where the regulator has such a function," he noted. >>>
