Аннотация. Исследование посвящено оценке трансформаций экономического потенциала Республики Армения под воздействием экзогенных шоков 2020-2023 гг. В работе осуществлен анализ принятых в международной практике методик оценки потенциального выпуска, с акцентом на их применимость к экономике Армении. На основе производственной функции Кобба-Дугласа получена оценка динамики потенциального ВВП Армении. Показано, что его среднегодовой рост ускорился до 5,5%, чему способствовали изменения в структуре рабочей силы, рост объемов ИТ-сектора и увеличение притока инвестиций. Наряду с позитивной динамикой выявлены структурные уязвимости. Полученные результаты указывают на необходимость адаптации макроэкономической политики с акцентом на устойчивое развитие, повышение производительности и снижение внешней зависимости.

Ключевые слова: экономический потенциал, экзогенные шоки, краткосрочные колебания деловой активности, долгосрочный экономический рост, изменения макроэкономического равновесия, HP-фильтр.

Abstract. The study assesses the transformations in the economic potential of the Republic of Armenia resulting from exogenous shocks between 2020 and 2023. The paper analyzes internationally recognized methodologies for estimating potential output, with a focus on their applicability to the Armenian economy. Using a Cobb–Douglas production function, an estimate of the dynamics in Armenia’s potential GDP is derived. The findings indicate that its average annual growth accelerated to 5.5%, driven by shifts in the labor force structure, expansion of the IT sector, and increased investment inflows. Alongside this positive trend, structural vulnerabilities were identified. The results highlight the need to adapt to macroeconomic policy, with an emphasis on sustainable development, productivity growth, and reduced external dependence.

Keywords: economic potential, exogenous shocks, short-term business cycle fluctuations, long-term economic growth, changes in macroeconomic equilibrium, HP filter.
