ArmInfo. Armenian Electric Networks JSC never used any banking during whole the performance history. This was stated by Armen Arshakyan, the Financial and Economic Director of Electric Networks of Armenia after the session of the Public Services Regulating Commission, which approved the allocation of  AMD 1.2 bln  Ardshinbank guarantee to the special account of  Electric networks of Armenia.

Following Arshakyan, according to the procedures on utilization of special accounts assets, this procedure has standard features. "The bank has to submit a guarantee in the limits of 1% of our average monthly billing, which will give an option to the Company to cover the liabilities in respect to the generating companies and operators," he mentioned. In this respect Arshakyan clarified that since the Company has been purchased by Tashir Group,  it had no overdue  liabilities in respect to generating stations. "In essence, this process is something like our overinsurance," he mentioned.  According to the source, the profit of ENA JSC, based on results of 2016, formed  AMD 23, 6 bln. The profit will be allocated for covering the overdue liabilities . An economic-financial audit is completed at the Company, implemented by international audit company of KPMG. The results of audit  will be published in the terms set forth by regulations.
