It was the  first transaction of a private Armenian company in the international  financial markets after the debut release of state Eurobonds in  Armenia in 2013. The successful debut on the Vienna Stock Exchange  inspired Ardshinbank to launch a second, more extensive launch of its  bonds on the Irish stock exchange.

According to the Financial Rating of Banks of Armenia, as of January  1, 2019, prepared by ArmInfo, the volume of funds raised by  Ardshinbank from placing its own bonds amounted to 41.2 billion drams  ($ 85.1 million) or 21% in the total market volume. Ardshinbank on  this indicator at the reporting date is included in the TOP-3, giving  up the championship held until 2018, but entrenched in the 2nd  position.

To recall, Ardshinbank is one of the leaders in all key financial  indicators of the RA banking system. It is the only private entity in  Armenia that has issued euro bonds in international capital markets.  Ardshinbank has assigned ratings from two international major rating  agencies (Moody's and Fitch) equal to the rating of sovereign. The  Banker, a publication owned by the Financial Times Group, named  Ardshinbank as "Bank of the Year in Armenia for 2018''.
