Governor of the Central Bank of Armenia Martin Galstyan, Minister of Finance Vahe Hovhannisyan, senior executives of Lion Finance Group, Ameriabank, and Bank of Georgia, attended the ceremonial bell-ringing event at the London Stock Exchange in London, marking Ameriabank’s inclusion in the FTSE 100 Index as part of Lion Finance Group (LFG).

As a member of LFG, Ameriabank was included in the FTSE 100 Index of the London Stock Exchange—one of the world’s leading exchanges—in March 2026, becoming the first Armenian company to join the list of the 100 largest companies listed on the exchange.

The Bell Ringing Ceremony is a symbolic and long-standing tradition at the London Stock Exchange, attended by representatives of financial institutions, investors, and key stakeholders.

In his remarks, Central Bank Governor Martin Galstyan highlighted the significance of the event, noting that such achievements reflect the high level of development and international integration of regional financial institutions.

During the visit, representatives of the Armenian and Georgian delegations were also hosted at the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in the United Kingdom, where they met with Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary H.E. Varuzhan Nersesyan.
