International Monetary Fund mission in Georgia has completed its work - summary statement says that the country`s economy continues to grow rapidly, the Fund expects growth of 7.3%.

"The Georgian economy continues to perform well. Real GDP is expected to grow by 7.3% in 2025, a deceleration from last year but high by historical standards. Economic activity has been led by the information technology, transport, and education sectors, which have expanded rapidly post pandemic and since the start of the war in Ukraine. Rapid growth has led to a decline in the unemployment rate to a record low of 13.3%, though it remains structurally elevated.

Inflation accelerated in 2025 and stood at 4.8 percent year-on-year in November, above the 3 percent target of the National Bank of Georgia (NBG). The increase was driven mainly by domestic food prices, and is expected to be transitory. Core inflation remains below target, suggesting an absence of broad-based price pressures. The NBG has appropriately maintained a cautious monetary policy stance, keeping its policy rate unchanged at 8%. Nevertheless, if inflation proves more persistent than is currently anticipated, the NBG should stand ready to tighten the policy stance", - reads the statement.
