What happened
Armenia is facing various import restrictions from Russia on its agricultural products, which began in earnest in early May of this year. These restrictions have been expanded to include specific items such as cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, grapes, and various fish products. The government of Armenia has lodged a formal complaint within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) framework to seek the removal of these obstacles.

Why it matters
The Central Bank of Armenia noted that these politically tense relations are an external risk factor when setting monetary policy. Experts assess that, in an extreme scenario where no alternative markets are found, the maximum impact of the restrictions could reduce Armenia’s economic growth by up to 1.8 to 2 percent of GDP.
A statement compared the resource base of Central Asia and Armenia, noting that Armenia lacks the natural resources found in Central Asia.
