The variable component of the floating interest rate will be revised on the forthcoming revision date following the expiration of the  24^th month, thereafter, every 6 months with application of the rate (published on the Bank’s website) effective at the moment of revision.

The floating interest rate is the interest rate of the loan after the expiration of the 24th month of the loan.
The floating interest rate becomes effective upon the expiration of the 24th month of the loan agreement as a loan interest rate specified in the agreement. The variable component of the floating interest rate is revised regularly - twice a year – on February 1 and August 1. As a variable component the interest rate applicable (actually published on the website) in the Bank is applied since the forthcoming revision date following the expiration of the 24th month.
The floating interest rate is a nominal interest rate which is calculated according to the following formula.
𝑹𝐅 = 𝐑𝐕 + 𝐑𝐌
where RF – Floating interest rate
RV – Variable component
RM – Fixed component

The variable component of the floating interest rate (RV) is defined on the basis of the following market rates, depending on the loan currency:

• The calculation of the main variable component in AMD is based on the yield to maturity of Armenian 6-month Government (treasury) bills. Information on the yield to maturity of Armenian 6-month Government (treasury) bills can be retrieved from the relevant publications (yield curve) on the official website of the CBA at the following link: https://www.cba.am/am/SitePages/fmofinancialmarkets.aspx.
  The variable component is reviewed on February 1 and August 1 each year. The variable component as of February 1 is equal to the average applicable interest rate effective for the period from June through November of the previous year. The variable component as of August 1 is equal to the average applicable interest rate effective for the period from December of the previous year through May of that specific year.
  Whenever the above indicator becomes inaccessible or irretrievable and the definition of the interest rate becomes impossible for the next period, the interest rate for the next period is determined based on the secondary indicator used by the Bank.
• The calculation of the secondary variable component in AMD is based on the interest rates of the AMD-denominated deposits (except demand ones) of individuals for a one-year term which are published by the CBA. Information on the interest rates of the AMD-denominated deposits (except the demand ones) of individuals for a one-year term can be retrieved from the relevant publications on the CBA website at the following link: https://www.cba.am/am/SitePages/statmonetaryfinancial.aspx.

The secondary variable component is revised on February 1 and August 1 each year. The secondary indicator as of February 1 is calculated as an average of the interest rates published from June through November of the previous year. The secondary indicator as of August 1 is calculated as an average of the interest rates published from December of the previous year through May of that specific year.

• The calculation of the main variable component in USD is based on the interest rates of the USD-denominated deposits of individuals for a one-year term which are published by the CBA. Information on the interest rates of the USD-denominated deposits of individuals for a one-year term can be retrieved from the relevant publications on the CBA website at the following link: https://www.cba.am/am/SitePages/statmonetaryfinancial.aspx.
  The variable component is revised twice a year on February 1 and August 1. The variable component as of February 1 is calculated as an average of the interest rates published from June through November of the previous year. The variable component indicator as of August 1 is calculated as an average of the interest rates published from December of the previous year through May of that specific year. Whenever the above indicator becomes inaccessible or irretrievable and the definition of the interest rate becomes impossible for the next period, the interest rate for the next period is determined based on the secondary indicator used by the Bank.
• The calculation of the secondary variable indicator in USD is based on Overnight secured financing rate for 6-month term (CME Term SOFR USD 6 Month). Information on Overnight secured financing rate for 6-month term can be retrieved from the relevant publications on the Bloomberg terminal at TSFR6M link. The variable component is revised twice a year on February 1 and August 1. The variable component as of February 1 is calculated as an average of the interest rates published from June through November of the previous year. The variable component as of August 1 is calculated as an average of the interest rates published from December of the previous year through May of that specific year.
• The calculation of the main variable component in Euro is based on the European Interbank Offered 6-month Rate (EMMI EURIBOR 6 Month). Information on the European Interbank Offered 6-month rate can be retrieved from the relevant publications on Bloomberg terminal using the EUR006M link.  The variable component is revised twice a year on February 1 and August 1. The variable component as of February 1 is calculated as an average of the interest rates published from June through November of the previous year. The variable component as of August 1 is calculated as an average of the interest rates published from December of the previous year through May of that specific year.
• The calculation of the secondary variable component in Euro is based on the 6-month yield curve of the German government bonds. Information on the interest rate of the 6-month yield curve of the German government bonds can be retrieved from the publications on Bloomberg terminal using the YCGT0016 link.

In case of moving from the primary to the secondary variable component an adjustment factor can be applied.
