Armenia is getting ready to become a financial centre for the South
Caucasus, says Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian, who has committed
himself to creating an economic situation in the country which will
facilitate such developments.

The HSBC Bank Armenia management, and that of other banks, expects
to participate in supporting the ambitious plans of Armenian
leadership. So far Georgia has played a leading role in this sector
and shown strong potential to become the financial services leader
in this region, but now the challenge is here.
