Capital Markets: Dimension placed AMD 8.8 billion in corporate bonds across six Armenian issuers, spanning agribusiness, healthcare, infrastructure construction, industrial production and retail—an effort to deepen financing options for the real economy.

Education Resilience Funding: Armenia secured an additional $293M ADB loan for 50 seismic-resistant schools under a program running to Sept 30, 2027. Connectivity Project TRIPP: U.S. and Armenian officials held town halls in Syunik on TRIPP’s shift from vision to implementation, with rail engineering studies underway.
