The aim of this study is to evaluate the economic feasibility and implications of free trade agreement between the EU and Armenia as well as of greater regional integration between Georgia, Armenia and the Black Sea countries. The study uses a mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis along with surveys, sectoral studies and local expert knowledge. This approach will allow the policy maker not to rely on any single methodology while providing an interrelated analysis of various aspects of free trade agreements (FTAs).
The study begins with an account of the status quo reporting on key features of the Armenian economy and most recent trade and economic developments, including a brief overview of EU-Armenia trade and economic relations (chapter 2). Both chapter 3 and chapter 4 include the analysis of trade relations with the EU and the other Armenian trade partners in greater detail. In chapter 3 we study the options for future FTAs between Armenia and its neighbours. This is followed by the diagnostic analysis based on various trade and economic indicators (Sussex Framework) used to provide an insight into the trade and welfare implications of greater integration with the EU and within the region.
