President Vahagn Khachaturyan delivered opening remarks at the event marking the 25th anniversary of the Armenia Stock Exchange

President of the Republic, Vahagn Khachaturyan, participated in the event dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Armenia Stock Exchange (AMX), where he delivered opening remarks.

“Let me congratulate all of us on the 25th anniversary of one of the most important institutions of Armenia’s capital market—the Armenia Stock Exchange, AMX.

Over the past quarter century, the Armenia Stock Exchange has become one of the key pillars of Armenia’s financial system, playing a vital role in the development of the capital market and the formation of an investment culture.

This anniversary is not only an opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the past but also a chance to reassess the important mission that the capital market holds in shaping our country’s economic future.

Today’s world is changing rapidly. Economic competitiveness depends not only on the availability of financial resources but also on their efficient allocation, investor confidence, and a long-term development vision. In this context, a modern and dynamic capital market becomes a key driver of economic growth.

Armenia’s economy today has the opportunity and vision for a new stage of development. In recent years, our country has maintained macroeconomic stability, a high level of economic activity, and a stable financial system. However, it is clear that further economic development requires new investment instruments, broader financial opportunities, and more active mobilization of domestic resources. In this regard, the role of the stock exchange is critically important.

A stock exchange is not merely a trading platform. It is an environment of trust, transparency, and long-term economic cooperation. It enables businesses to attract capital, investors to participate in the country’s economic development, and the state to build a more resilient and diversified economy.

I particularly emphasize the importance of Armenia’s consistent efforts to develop an economy based on science, education, and high technologies. An innovative ecosystem is taking shape in our country, where both global technology companies and rapidly growing startups of Armenian origin are successfully operating. The continued development of this ecosystem also requires an accessible and efficient capital market capable of meeting the demands of an innovation-driven economy.

At the same time, Armenia continues to prioritize regional cooperation, infrastructure development, and the establishment of lasting peace.

We are confident that a peaceful, predictable, and interconnected region will create new opportunities for investment, trade, and economic integration. In this process, the development of financial markets is of fundamental importance.

Dear colleagues,

The 25th anniversary of AMX is a good occasion to express gratitude to everyone who has contributed over the years to the formation and development of Armenia’s capital market—regulatory authorities, participating organizations, investors, international partners, and, of course, the entire exchange team.

I am confident that in the years ahead, the exchange will continue fulfilling its important mission, becoming an even more competitive, technologically advanced, and regionally influential financial platform.

Once again, I congratulate all of us on this significant anniversary. I wish you continued success, productive cooperation, and sustained development.”
