In August 2025, Armenia experienced a rise in its annual inflation rate, which climbed to 3.6% from 3.4% in July. This increase was primarily attributed to more substantial price hikes in food and non-alcoholic beverages, which grew by 4.9%, up from 4.7% the previous month. Additionally, there was a noticeable rebound in prices for clothing and footwear, which rose by 0.1%, reversing a 0.2% decline in July.
