ArmInfo. Armenia's energy transformation rating has remained unchanged for the past nine years, according to a study by the Luys Foundation. The analysis is based on the World Economic Forum's report "Fostering Effective Energy Transition-2025."
According to the study, in 2025, Armenia ranked 65th out of 118 countries in the global Energy Transition Index (EVI) ranking with a score of 54.3. Armenia's rating position in 2025 is the same as at was in 2016. This means that, according to the 2025 Report, Armenia has not made any progress compared to 9 years ago. Although Armenia's EVI slightly increased compared to 2015, (as did the vast majority of countries), a 5-position decline in the rating was recorded. This decline was due Armenia's slower progress compared to most countries. From 2015 to 2025, the average global growth in the Education and Development Index was 3.7 points, which is about 1.5 times higher than Armenia's Education and Development Index growth (2.5 points). From 2023 to 2025, the Education and Human Capital indicator of the Transformation Readiness sub-index of the EVI decreased by 5.2 points compared to 2023. This was due to a sharp drop in the Global Talent Competitiveness Index. This index assesses a country's ability to attract, develop and retain talent (human capital). The sharp drop in the index undermines the current government's loud statements about increasing human capital, preventing brain drain and creating favorable conditions for qualified specialists.
Armenia's Education and Development Index remain significantly below the world average. Both the System Efficiency and Transformation Readiness sub-indices are also below the global average. In the 2025 ranking of groups that include former socialist countries in Europe and former Soviet republics (24 countries in total), Armenia is ranked 16th. Among the 4 neighboring countries in the region, Armenia is only ahead of y Iran in terms of economic growth index. Armenia lags behind Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey by 24, 23, and 15 positions, respectively.
In terms of the economic growth index, Armenia surpasses two EAEU member states included in the report: Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan (the Russian Federation and Belarus are not represented in the report).
