Overview
Armenia's fdi outflows stood at 0.41% in 2025, a rise of +0.19% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.41% by 2025. Armenia ranked 90th globally.
Armenia’s foreign direct investment (FDI) outflows have been modest and volatile over the 25‑year series, falling from an early‑period level of 0.61 in 1998 to a recent 0.41 in 2025, which places the country at rank 90 globally. The upward swing that culminated in the all‑time peak of 2.16 in 2011 was reversed by a sharp contraction, reaching a trough of –0.98 in 2019, indicating that outbound investment turned negative during that year. Compared with peer economies of similar rank, Armenia’s outflow figure is close to St. Kitts and Nevis’s 0.43 and Bosnia and Herzegovina’s 0.39, suggesting a comparable scale of capital export among small, transition economies. The recent decline from the 2011 high reflects both domestic constraints on outward investment capacity and external shocks that dampened Armenian firms’ ability to acquire assets abroad. If policy reforms improve access to finance and encourage multinational expansion, the downward trajectory could stabilize and potentially reverse, allowing outflows to rise modestly in the coming years.
