The collaboration between ARMSWISSBANK CJSC and EBRD dates back to 2010. The cooperation has developed in a number of directions, particularly, within the scope of SME Lending Program, Trade Finance Program, GCF-GEFF Armenia Energy Efficiency Program and Global Master Repo Agreement (GMRA), which regulates the process of concluding repo transactions with securities in international financial markets.
