Policy development at the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Armenia is research-driven and grounded in rigorous analytical work. Since May 2024, the Ministry’s research agenda has been approved by ministerial order, based on proposals submitted by its departments and the analytical capacity of the Economic Research Department. In addition, the Ministry continuously conducts macroeconomic and other current analyses. These assessments make it possible to evaluate prevailing economic conditions, identify structural challenges and risks, and outline potential development pathways.

Econometric methods and models are used to analyse and forecast GDP growth, productivity, investment dynamics, foreign trade, and trends across individual sectors of the economy. The findings provide the analytical foundation for short-, medium-, and long-term economic policymaking.

The Ministry’s research activities, however, extend beyond the assessment of broad economic trends. Sectoral studies are equally important and have significant practical value, particularly in identifying constraints to sectoral development, assessing growth potential, and evaluating the outcomes of implemented policies. At the same time, the study of economic risks and resilience factors supports the development of more robust policy approaches aimed at mitigating the effects of external and domestic shocks whilst promoting sustainable economic development.
