YEREVAN, June 4. /ARKA/. Inflation in Armenia in 2024 was 0.3% and was quite low compared to similar countries, said Armenian Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan.

According to Armstat, in 2024, 12-month inflation in Armenia was 1.5%. In January-December 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, prices increased by 0.3%.

The head of the Finance Ministry noted that deflationary trends in the consumer market of Armenia have consistently softened.

In the state budget of Armenia for 2024, inflation is set at 4% (±1.5%).
