FEDERATION OF EURO-ASIAN STOCK EXCHANGES ANNUAL REPORT APRIL 2011 NASDAQ OMX ARMENIA Armen Melikyan Chief Executive Officer In 2011, as the recovery gets underway both globally and locally, NASDAQ OMX Armenia will continue to be proactive in its relations with the capital market stakeholders. Among major achievements of 2010 was introduction of credit resources market in April, with launch of which the Exchange started servicing interbank credits - another important part of financial market. At present this market is the most active at the Exchange with value traded of US$ 1.5 billion and contributes to fair pricing of overnight interbank loans. Corporate securities trading was quite low this year, though stock market saw a 30% increase of value traded, which is quite notable taking into account the fact that starting from 2006 this market didn’t show any positive growth trend. Government bonds trading was also active with almost doubled value traded of US$ 15.5 mln, and the repurchase agreements (repo) market showed an activity exceeding US$ 10.4 mln. Currency trading slightly decreased at nearly US$ 0.7 billion in 2010. At the year-end exchange market capitalization stood at the equivalent of around US$ 144 million declining by only 0.9% since the end of 2010 – a relatively good performance considering the lingering effects of the global financial crisis. In 2010, NASDAQ OMX Armenia was also active in organizing many different kinds of events. These were targeted to various stakeholder groups – investment companies and banks, listed companies, journalists – and aimed at sharing international expertise and implementing state-of-the-art standards of respective activities in Armenia. General public and especially younger audiences were also in focus, with initiatives promoting awareness about capital markets and their importance in building a strong national economy. Becoming the full owner of the Central Depository of Armenia in 2009, NASDAQ OMX Armenia kept concentrating on improving the depository and clearing services – primarily through continued automation and optimization of business processes. The Depository also worked closely with the Government of Armenia to design and prepare the implementation in 2014 of the fully funded mandatory pension system, with volunteer part starting in 2011. The launch of this new second pillar pension system is expected to boost the activity in the capital market promoting the issue of new financial instruments and bringing in institutional investors. In 2011, as the recovery gets underway both globally and locally, NASDAQ OMX Armenia will continue to be proactive in its relations with the capital market stakeholders. One area of focus will be to introduce new technology for both the exchange and the central depository business, to put in place the foundation for continued growth. There will also be continuous efforts to increase awareness of the capital market in Armenia and support market participants in meeting the awakening demand for quality financial intermediation and capital market services. Through such processes NASDAQ OMX Armenia realizes its primary objective – to maintain a fair and effective marketplace where good companies can raise capital and where investors can make well-informed decisions while being properly protected. Our commitment for 2011 is to continuously and consistently strive to achieve this objective. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT NASDAQ OMX Armenia (formerly Armenian Stock Exchange, Armex, renamed on 27 January 2009) is the only stock exchange currently operating in Armenia. Armex was the successor of the Association of Securities Market Participants, which was established in Armenia in 1997, and was initially registered the Securities Commission of the RA on 13 February 2001, as a self-regulatory organization. In November 2007, according to the newly adopted “Law on Securities Market”, Armex was reorganized into an open joint stock company. Until 1 January 2006, Securities Commission of RA was the competent state authority to regulate the activities of capital market including the stock exchange in Armenia. However, with the enactment of a new law introducing unified regulatory authority for the financial market, the regulatory and supervisory powers of the Commission were transferred to the CBA. Since 15 November 2005, foreign currency trading was introduced on Armex, which proved to be in demand: volumes of FX trading to date greatly exceed those of other instruments. On 14 December 2005, the first publicly traded corporate bonds were listed at Armex, and as of December 2008, 13 bond issues were traded on the stock exchange – most of them having market makers. In early 2008 government bonds trading was launched, as well as status of market-maker for government bonds was introduced. By the end of 2008, Armex introduced new market for REPO (repurchase agreements), as well as a mechanism for manual trades. In April, 2010 NASDAQ OMX introduced new market for credit resources trading, providing exchange platform for interbank credits, a large segment of the Armenian financial market, thus contributing to the transparent and fair pricing of credit resources, as well as equities, debt instruments, and currency. NASDAQ OMX Armenia is currently part of the NASDAQ OMX Group. In November 2007 members of CDA and Armex transferred their shares to the CBA, and OMX Group acquired 100% thereof. After in late February 2008, NASDAQ completed its combination with OMX, NASDAQ OMX Armenia became an entity fully owned by NASDAQ OMX. On 5 June 2009, NASDAQ OMX Armenia became the owner of the 100% of the shares of the Central Depository of Armenia. FUTURE OUTLOOK In 2011, NASDAQ OMX Armenia plans to: • continue improving the technical infrastructure of the stock exchange and the central depository; • continue expanding the range of services provided to listed companies and trading members; • carry on with efforts to promote initial public offerings of equities in the Armenian market; • launch T+3 settlement mechanism, which will enable exchange trading without predeposition of securities and cash; • establish a Guarantee Fund to increase investor protection; • continue efforts towards increasing public awareness of the Armenian securities market.
