Lion Finance Group (LFG) marked its inclusion in the FTSE 100 Index by ringing the closing bell at the London Stock Exchange. 

Ameriabank as part of LFG, has been included in the FTSE 100 index of one of the world’s leading stock exchanges in March, making it the first company from Armenia to join the top 100 companies listed on the London Stock 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. 

Leadership of Lion Finance Group, Ameriabank, Bank of Georgia, and government representatives both from Georgia and Armenia, including Minister of Finance Vahe Hovhannisyan and Governor of the Central Bank of Armenia Martin Galstyan, and other guests attended the ceremony.

The LFG’s entry into the FTSE 100 reflects strong international investor trust in its long-term strategy and consistent growth trajectory.

Having been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 2006, the Group’s inclusion in the FTSE 100 index has taken place within two years after Ameriabank joined LFG. This testifies to the strategic importance of Ameriabank’s inclusion in the Group and to its significant contribution to the Group’s overall development.
