ArmInfo.The growth of the Armenian economy in 2023 will be 6.5%, followed by a slowdown in 2024 to 5.5%, depending on the factors of internal and external demand.  This is stated in the Asian Development Outlook of the Asian  Development Bank (ADB), on the economies of the Asia- Pacific region.    In particular, the report notes: "Despite headwinds, the economy grew  strongly in 2022 on rapid expansion in consumption and services  reflecting an influx of people and capital from the Russian  Federation. Fiscal and current account deficits narrowed, but  inflation accelerated. Growth is expected to moderate in 2023 and  2024 as stimulus from inflows of capital, people, and firms from the  Russian Federation wanes. Inflation is expected to moderate, and the  current account deficit to widen slightly. Strengthening education is  critical for inclusive and sustainable growth."
