Recently many companies have ensured a high growth and are ready to use new instruments to attract investments, specifically via IPO. "If we have 20 companies making IPO by 2010, that would mean that the Armenian capital market rapidly develops
.Armenian capital market is in a better state than the markets in developed countries", Armen Melikyan said.
Since the Armenian capital market is not developed enough, the global crisis will not have the same impact on it as on the capital markets of Europe, Russia and other developed countries. Anyway, it will not avoid the crisis, he explained.
