Includes historical data for Armenia’s Gross Domestic Product growth, debt-to-GDP ratio and more, as well as information on trade, banking and financial sector leadership.
Strong Economy Despite Regional Tensions
With a population of about three million, Armenia is an attractive hub for foreign investment, particularly in industries such as energy, banking, pharmaceuticals and information technology. The nation benefits from trade and investment agreements with the United States and the European Union, and the membership in the Eurasian Economic Union. Furthermore, Armenia can count on significant mineral resources, comfortable foreign exchange reserves, and a commitment to reform in the justice, competition, and anti-corruption domains.
However, challenges persist, including a small market size, heavy reliance on Russia for trade and security, and geographic isolation due to border closures with Turkey and Azerbaijan amidst political and territorial disputes.
