Armenia GDP Annual Growth Rate
Armenia is a landlocked country without energy resources. Construction, which receives large funding from foreign direct investment and remittances, is the most important sector of the economy. As a modernization attempt, Armenia has focused on development of small scale agriculture and small and medium enterprises to replace the old soviet agro-industrial model. Nonetheless, industry and agriculture remain outperformed by services. Recent tax reforms have failed to tackle Armenia’s shadow economy and corruption problems.
