Calculation of loan interest rate
Loan interests are calculated on the actual loan balance, considering 365 days in the year. The nominal interest rate of the loan remains unchanged during the entire effective period of the loan.
If the two-fold of the banking rate (settlement banking interest rated established by the CBA) is less than the interest rate defined by the Company, the two-fold banking rate shall be defined as a maximum interest rate.
Example of calculation of loan interest amounts
Simple example of loan interest rate calculation: (Loan amount* interest rate)/ number of months (or days)
Thus, when providing a loan of AMD 2,000,000, at 16% annual interest rate and 18 months of repayment period, the average monthly interest due to payment shall be AMD 2,000,000*0.16/18= AMD 17,778. It should be mentioned that the actual amount of monthly interests would depend on the loan repayment schedule, yet not exceed the average amount specified above.

- State registration of lien of the transport vehicle: AMD 3,000
