Public Trust in Government Sees Notable Shift Amid Economic Concerns

Recent data from the survey underscores a significant transformation in how Armenian residents perceive the government’s credibility and effectiveness. Economic challenges, including rising inflation and unemployment rates, have placed pressure on public confidence, leading to a more cautious and critical outlook. Only 43% of respondents now express trust in government institutions, marking a 12% decline compared to figures from the previous year. This erosion signals growing skepticism about government capacity to manage economic stability and deliver essential services effectively.

The survey also highlights key areas influencing this shift:

  • Economic management: Concerns over inflation and wage stagnation dominate public discourse.
  • Transparency issues: Citizens report perceived lack of openness in fiscal policies.
  • Social welfare: Growing demand for enhanced social programs amid rising living costs.

The following table summarizes public trust levels across various institutions, reflecting the broader sentiment around governmental roles in economic recovery efforts.

Key Social Issues Driving Public Sentiment Across Urban and Rural Communities

Residents across Armenia’s urban and rural landscapes express distinct concerns that mirror the varying socio-economic realities they face. In cities, pressing issues include unemployment, housing affordability, and access to quality healthcare. These urban challenges are compounded by rapid population growth and infrastructure strain, driving public calls for more substantial government intervention. Conversely, rural communities prioritize agricultural support, improving local education facilities, and enhanced transportation networks. These priorities highlight the ongoing rural-urban divide affecting economic opportunities and service delivery nationwide.

  • Urban concerns: Job security, urban infrastructure, healthcare availability
  • Rural concerns: Agricultural subsidies, school modernization, road conditions
IssueUrban Priority (%)Rural Priority (%)
Unemployment68%42%
Agricultural Support15%74%
Healthcare Access54%38%
Education Quality37%61%

The survey reveals that despite a shared commitment to national development, the pathways residents envision diverge significantly. Urban dwellers emphasize modernization and economic diversification, while rural populations seek investment to bolster traditional livelihoods and improve basic services. Bridging this gap remains pivotal for policymakers aiming to foster inclusive growth that resonates with the aspirations of all Armenians.

Experts Urge Enhanced Civic Engagement and Transparency to Foster National Unity

Leading civic experts emphasize the critical need for increased public participation in democratic processes and greater government openness as key pathways to strengthening Armenia’s social fabric. Amid rising public concern about political fragmentation and mistrust, specialists advocate for initiatives aimed at amplifying citizen voices in policy decisions and ensuring transparent communication channels between authorities and communities. These measures, they argue, are essential to bridge divides and cultivate a shared sense of belonging across diverse population groups.

To support these objectives, experts recommend a multifaceted approach including:

  • Regular public forums that encourage dialogue between officials and citizens.
  • Strengthening access to information through digital platforms and open data policies.
  • Enhancing civic education to empower residents with knowledge about their rights and government functions.

To Conclude

The June 2025 Public Opinion Survey by the International Republican Institute offers a comprehensive snapshot of the current attitudes and priorities among residents of Armenia. As the country navigates complex political, economic, and social challenges, these findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, stakeholders, and international observers alike. Moving forward, the data will play a critical role in shaping responsive governance and fostering civic engagement across the nation.
