ArmInfo. Labor productivity  in Armenia at the end of 2023 will be $9.8 per hour, Armenia's  Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan told Business FM. 

He noted that increasing labor productivity is one of the key goals  of the government program for 2021- 2026. In particular, according to  the minister, the program indicates that by 2026 this figure should  increase from $6 per hour to $12 per hour.

"In two years of intensive work, we managed to increase labor  productivity in Armenia by 50% to $9.8 per hour, which is one of the  key goals of our economy," he said.

Labor productivity in Armenia in 2021 was $6 per hour, while in the  EAEU countries this figure is twice as high, and in developed  countries it reaches $43 per hour.
