YEREVAN, April 4. /ARKA/. Interest rate spread of Armenia’s commercial banks was 7.26% in February, an increase of 2.07 percentage points compared to February last year, ArmStat reported. An increase of 1.63 percentage points is recorded compared to the month before.

Interest rate spread (lending rate minus deposit rate) is a key indicator of any banking system. High spread points to systemic risks when banks are unable to adequately assess loan risks.
