Armenia is preparing for a massive wave of investment from the United States, which could exceed $13 billion — almost half of the country's annual GDP. The visit of U.S. Vice President J. D. Vance, during which a nuclear partnership agreement worth up to $9 billion was signed, signaled a possible deepening of economic ties with Washington. Additionally, an artificial intelligence project worth $4 billion should strengthen the prospects of the Armenian economy.
Experts note that the successful implementation of these initiatives will increase investor confidence, expand direct investment and portfolio investments, and increase remittances to the country. Such an influx of funds could significantly reduce Armenia's economic dependence on Russia and strengthen its position on the international stage.
Events against the backdrop of Vance's visit to neighboring Azerbaijan and the signing of a peace agreement on Nagorno-Karabakh underscore the growing geopolitical competition for the Caucasus. Turkey's plans to open the border with Armenia and strengthen ties with the EU further enhance the region's prospects as a key trade and energy corridor between China, Central Asia, and Europe.
