ArmInfo. In June, a new historical record was set in Armenia for the number of registered jobs. This statement was made by the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan.
According to him, during the reporting month, the number of registered jobs amounted to 796,473, and the level of economic activity in the country was 8.6%.
I love you, the working, product-creating and state-building people of the Republic of Armenia, he wrote on his Facebook page.
Meanwhile, in Armenia, economic activity growth in the first half of 2025 slowed to 6.3% per annum (from 10.4% in the same period of 2024). Moreover, the industrial sector, which was one of the growth drivers a year earlier, is weakening the pace of economic growth with the current double-digit decline (-12.1%). According to preliminary data from the RA Statistical Committee, this is accompanied by a deterioration in the foreign trade trend from several-fold growth to a significant decline (exports fell by 52.8%, imports - by 38.6%).
According to statistics, such a pronounced slowdown in economic activity growth in the first half of 2025 was largely due to the deterioration in the annual dynamics of the industrial sector from 18.2% growth to 12.1% decline and a strong slowdown in the growth of the trade sector from 22.9% to 3.9%. A weakening of the growth rate is also noted in the energy complex - from 5% to a stagnant 0.8%. At the same time, the service sector managed to accelerate in annual growth from 4.4% to 9.8%, which was also noted in the construction sector - from 15.7% to 18.5%. Acceleration of annual growth was also noted in the agricultural sector - from 4% to 7.3%.
