According to the National Statistical Committee of Armenia, a 0.5-percent 12-month deflation was recorded in February 2020, and a 0.7-percent inflation recorded in December 2019 was the lowest indicator among the CIS countries.

In the 2020 government budget, economic growth is projected at 4.9 percent and inflation at 4% (±1.5%). -0–
