Lindsay Forbes, Ameriabank Board of Directors member and EBRD representative, talks about the role of IPO and corporate governance.  

“IPO is not a destination. It’s a milestone in the development of a company. Having said that, I think there are ingredients for a successful IPO within Ameriabank, not least performance, economic performance over a sustained period, potential for future growth, new ideas, good risk management processes, etc.  

It’s being number one in the country. That is important. It’s having a kind of international mindset and it’s working to the best international standards, it’s generating trust because of its integrity and values of the management. It’s a believable story with a promising future. That’s in a way what Ameriabank is doing day to day”.
