The economy likely continued to tap on the brakes in Q3, as economic activity growth slowed to 6.3% year on year from 7.7% in Q2. Lower real wage growth in July–August likely weighed on private spending, as retail sales growth eased from Q2 in July–September. Moreover, the industrial and construction sectors both expanded at a softer pace. On the external front, Russia’s ban on agricultural imports from Armenia—retaliation for the latter’s recent efforts to reorientate trade westwards—continues to cloud the external sector outlook. In other news, Armenia and Iran inked a memorandum of understanding in late September on enhancing trade between the countries; the agreement also aims to open an Iranian trade center in Armenia, boding well for investment.
