ArmInfo.Armswissbank has been granted the status of market maker on the first dollar bonds of INECOBANK. According to NASDAQ OMX Armenia, the issue volume amounted to $ 5 million, coupon yield - 5.25%, circulation period - 3 years, coupon payments - once every six months, with full repayment on June 11, 2021.
The issue of these bonds took place on June 11, 2018. Initial placement ended on September 7. On September 28, the issue was listed on the main Abond list. A total of 50,000 bonds with a nominal value of $ 100 were issued.
According to experts, for the first time in the Armenian banking market there was a lack of information on the issue of securities, which cannot but cause concerns. The issue of bonds took place in June, and information about this fact and the conditions of the securities were made public on the stock exchange website only a few days after the listing procedure. Even if the issue of bonds was designed for the so- called exclusive "anchor investor", the lack of information about the tranche on the day of entering the securities market contradicts the principles and standards of the capital market, does not contribute to the development of the secondary market, and indicates insufficient procedural supervision from the regulator in the person of the Central Bank of Armenia.
