ArmInfo.For the second consecutive year, the Armenian banking system has maintained a high growth rate of non-performing loans (NPLs). This is evidenced by the Financial Rating of Armenian Banks as of June 30, 2026, prepared by IC ArmInfo on the basis of published financial statements and additionally requested data (including credit risk data). According to analysts, NPL growth, which barely slowed from 39% to 32% year-on-year by mid-year, is nevertheless increasingly weighing on profits, which are "melting" due to write-offs.
Meanwhile, the total loan portfolio during this period accelerated to its current 30% growth rate. However, within its structure, both corporate and retail lending grew at a slower pace—by 23–24% (compared to 28–29% a year ago). In parallel, interbank lending surged nearly threefold. For the borrowing side, this indicates a shortage of funds to meet current obligations and maintain ongoing liquidity, while for the lender, it represents a rational allocation of temporarily free cash.
As a result, the loan portfolio reached 9.9 trillion drams ($26.8 billion) by July 1, 2026. This includes corporate loans of 4.9 trillion drams ($13.5 billion), retail loans of 4.1 trillion drams ($11.1 billion), and interbank loans of 551.2 billion drams ($1.5 billion). Net profit for H1 2026 amounted to 214.3 billion drams ($582.5 million), with its year-on-year growth slowing from 17% to 7%.
The volume of overdue loans reached nearly 505 billion drams (around $1.4 billion) by this date. Over the year, their share grew from 5% to 5.1% in the total loan portfolio, and from 3.3% to 3.6% in total assets. Furthermore, 57% of all non-performing loans are concentrated in high-risk categories—doubtful and hopeless. The combined volume of these two categories grew by 49% year-on-year, primarily driven by an increase in the most toxic, loss-defined loans.
