The economy of Armenia grew by 12.6% in 2022, according to the country's Statistical Committee and the International Monetary Fund.[3] Total output amounted to 8.5 trillion Armenian drams,[21] or $19.5 billion.[3][22] At the same time, Armenia's foreign trade turnover significantly accelerated in growth from 17.7% in 2021 to 68.6% in 2022.[23] GDP contracted sharply in 2020 by 7.2%, mainly due to the COVID-19 recession and the war against Azerbaijan.[3] In contrast it grew by 7.6 per cent in 2019,[24] the largest recorded growth since 2007,[25] while between 2012 and 2018 GDP grew 40.7%, and key banking indicators like assets and credit exposures almost doubled.[26]

While part of the Soviet Union, the economy of Armenia was based largely on manufacturing industry—chemicals, electronic products, machinery, processed food, synthetic rubber and textiles; it was highly dependent on outside resources.[27] Armenian mines produce copper, zinc, gold and lead. The vast majority of energy is produced with imported fuel from Russia, including gas and nuclear fuel for Armenia's Metsamor nuclear power plant.[28] The main domestic energy source is hydroelectric. Small amounts of coal, gas and petroleum have not yet been developed.

The severe trade imbalance has been somewhat offset by international aid and remittances from Armenians abroad, and foreign direct investment. Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union and ties with Russia remain close, especially in the energy sector.
