ArmInfo. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will provide Armenia with two grants totaling €1 million, which will support programs to establish customs and logistics centers in Yerevan and Syunik. At its November 12 meeting, the RA government deemed it appropriate to approve both agreements for €500,000 each.
The project justification notes that on September 19, 2025, loan and grant agreements were signed between the Republic of Armenia and the EBRD for the construction of the Yerevan Customs and Logistics Center. The loan agreement was ratified by the National Assembly in April 2026, and the grant agreement was approved by the President of the Republic of Armenia in February 2026.
The agreements signed for the construction of the Yerevan Customs and Logistics Center provide for the allocation of approximately €45 million to the Republic of Armenia, of which €39 million will be a loan (in two tranches) and €6 million as a grant. The Syunik Customs and Logistics Center will receive €12 million for its construction, €10 million of which will be a loan and €2 million as a grant.
The establishment and operation of the Yerevan and Syunik Customs and Logistics Centers will enable participants in foreign economic activity to provide modern, high-quality services of international standards, significantly improving service quality and process speed. At the same time, these centers will ensure the high efficiency, transparency, and predictability necessary for customs control and administration, helping to reduce risks and simplify customs control.
The Yerevan Customs and Logistics Center will be built in the village of Proshyan in the Kotayk region, and the Syunik Customs and Logistics Center will be built near the village of Shaki.
