For the first time in history, Georgia’s economy surpassed GEL 100 billion, reaching GEL 104.6 billion – Prime Minister

Georgia’s economy exceeded GEL 100 billion for the first time in history in 2025, we maintained a strong pace of economic growth this year. The Prime Minister of Georgia said this during his annual address to the Parliament.

As he noted, Georgia’s economy expanded by 7.5% in 2025, growing by USD 3.9 billion over the course of the year.

“For the first time in history, Georgia’s economy surpassed GEL 100 billion, reaching GEL 104.6 billion.

When the Georgian Dream came to power in 2012, the economy was worth less than GEL 28 billion, and just five years ago, in 2020, it stood below GEL 50 billion. This means our economy has doubled in lari terms over the past five years and grown even more in USD terms due to the stabilization and strengthening of the national currency.

Georgia’s economy grew from USD 16 billion in 2020 to USD 38.1 billion in 2025, while the average annual growth rate over the past five years reached 9.3%.

Preliminary data for January-April 2026 show economic growth of 8.2%, indicating that the country has maintained its strong growth momentum… Our key priority remains preserving this high rate of economic growth”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
