Armenia Economic Activity Growth Slows in February 2026
Armenia's economic activity growth has slowed in February 2026, raising concerns about potential near‑term economic instability.
Armenia's economic activity rose by 7.2% year‑on‑year in February 2026, down from 7.6% in January, indicating a moderating growth trend. The slowdown is primarily driven by a softer rise in the services sector excluding trade, which grew 7.0% compared with 7.4% the previous month. While industrial output accelerated, the deceleration in services and the broader moderation from very high prior‑month growth rates increase the risk of near‑term economic instability if the trend continues. This could pressure public finances and external balances, especially given Armenia's dependence on energy imports and volatile external trade conditions.
