YEREVAN. – In line with the official indicators issued by the National Statistical Service, exports from Armenia grew by a mere 3 percent in the first three months of this year, as compared to the same period last year, Haykakan Zhamanak daily reports.

“This is noteworthy in the sense that, in line with the data of the first two months of this year, exports had grown by 30 percent. 

In actual fact, the volume of exports fell sharply in March, and this could be due to the drop in the international price of copper.

As compared to between January and February, the export growth rate [in Armenia] reduced ten times between January and March,” Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
