Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan presented his administration’s economic highlights on Wednesday during the 2025 action plan report.

He told lawmakers that since first taking office in 2018 and throughout 2025, his government has implemented 1 trillion 410 billion drams in support programs for citizens of Armenia by returning these funds to them.

Armenia’s average annual GDP growth between 2021 and 2025 stood at 7.9%, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during the debate of the 2025 report of the 2021-2026 action plan. 

During the same period, he noted, global average economic growth was 4.1%, while the average growth rate among Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) members was 3.1%.

The prime minister also said that Armenia’s 2025 state budget revenues are 2.3 times higher than in 2017, or by $4.3 billion.

“Where did this $4.3 billion come from? It came from patiently and one by one closing all the loopholes for theft,” Pashinyan said.

The prime minister of Armenia noted that capital expenditures in 2025 have increased 2.9 times compared to 2017.

“In Armenia, 288,000 jobs have been created. The average monthly income has increased by 87% compared to 2017, while cumulative inflation over the same period was 29%. These figures show that compared to 2017, employed people are living 55% better lives. Between 2018 and 2025, we implemented support programs worth 1 trillion 410 billion drams, returning this amount to the citizens of Armenia through various programs,” he said.

Pashinyan added that the “2018 non-violent, velvet revolution was also carried out in order to achieve these results.”
