Dimension is ready to carry out all the necessary operations to organize the market making, to guarantee the high liquidity of the bonds and to give investors the opportunity to buy or sell the bonds at any time. I think bonds are one of the most accessible and stable investment instruments that can be included in a portfolio to diversify investments, reduce risks and volatility," said Mikayel Margaryan, CEO of "Dimension" CJSC.

"The interest and the high demand towards bonds issued by the Bank makes us not only improve the investment mechanisms in the bank, but also give our customers the opportunity to manage their funds more flexibly" said Arman Asatryan, Chief Financial Officer of IDBank.
