YEREVAN, January 10. /ARKA/. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said today the country’s economy is expected to grow 7% in 2023.

The prime minister noted that the original growth projection for 2022 was 7%, but it turned out to be around 13%. The growth was driven by the arrival of thousands of Russian nationals.
According to forecasts, the country’s GDP in 2022 will be 12.5-13%,” Pashinyan said, stressing the important role of the Russians.
