Armenia’s 2025 Economic Momentum: Economic Activity Up 9.1% and Exports Jump 63.9%

Armenia’s economy finished 2025 with a notable headline figure: the country’s economic activity index rose by 9.1 percent, and exports grew by 63.9 percent, according to the latest official statistics. The two numbers, released in a year-end briefing, point to a year of brisk momentum across the economy. For residents and policymakers alike, the performance signals more than a seasonal upturn; it suggests activity levels across multiple sectors remained resilient through 2025. While the data are preliminary and context matters, the scale of the growth drew attention from economists and business leaders watching Armenia’s post-pandemic economic trajectory.

Exports, meanwhile, posted a striking 63.9% increase in 2025. This level of growth in external trade signals stronger external demand for Armenian products or improved competitiveness in international markets. Exports are a key engine for the Armenian economy, given the country’s open market orientation and reliance on trade-linked sectors. A sharp rise in exports can support a pickup in production, foster job creation in export-oriented industries, and contribute to a healthier current account balance. However, without sector-by-sector detail, it is difficult to pinpoint which products or markets drove the surge most significantly. The figure nonetheless underscores a pivotal development in the year’s external performance.
