It should be noted that in 2025, the Armenian Economic Freedom Index was increasing in 2025 after a decrease (total, 7 points).
According to the methodology, the economic freedom index of this year is calculated based on the data of the second half of the first and pre-election year of last year. In other words, the 2021 economic freedom index, calculated based on the data of the first half of the second and 2020 of 2019, is a pre-election. Therefore, it can be said that Armenia's recovery rate is significantly lower than the average restoration of the world and all regions. Armenia is 57th among 176 countries in the world. In this ranking table, Armenia's position deteriorated at 10 places, despite the fact that the index growth has been registered.
