Dozens of agreements and memoranda have been signed in all spheres over the years and the Bulgarian-Armenian intergovernmental commission for trade-economic and scientific-technical cooperation has been playing an important role in boosting relations between the two countries.

Bulgaria mainly imports spirits, wines, ceramics and timber from Armenia. The interest of Bulgarian entrepreneurs in Armenia has been growing and direct Armenian investments in Bulgaria for 2021 reached 15.4 million euros.
