Armenia ranked 43rd  in overall performance in achieving a sustainable mix of policies. Its Balance Score of BBB, with "A" being the best, highlights how well a country manages the trade-offs of the Trilemma.

125 nations are ranked in the 2018 index. Neighboring Azerbaijan ranked in 27th place and Georgia, in 69th.

According to the index, Armenia shows continued improvement, mostly in the Security dimension. An improvement across all trilemma dimensions results in a balanced and improved profile of BBB
