Georgian macro overview

](https://app.georgiacapital.ge/static/file/202610282948-georgia-capital-plc-3q26-and-9m26-macroeconomic-overview.pdf) ## Diversified resilient economy #### Leading economy in the region on the back of wide sector activities Diversified non-commodity reliant economy with consistently high GDP growth across the last decade. #### Investment-led GDP growth - Development of large public infrastructure programmes backed by multilateral international funding driving potential GDP growth. - Infrastructure expenditures averaged 6.8% of GDP in 2019-2025, with public investment set to continue supporting growth in the medium run. - Following a 7.5% expansion in 2025, the Georgian economy sustained its growth momentum with preliminary growth of 7.6% y-o-y in 8M26. #### Low inflation with 3% target set from 2018 by National Bank of Georgia Headline Inflation averaged 5.3% in 9M26 and is expected to stay relatively high throughout the year, primarily due to geopolitical tensions pushing up global oil and food prices. Core inflation, which excludes the most volatile items such as food, energy and regulated tariffs, averaged 3.3% suggesting that underlying inflationary pressures remain more contained. The NBG raised policy rate by 25 basis points to 8.25% in May 2026, signaling a cautious policy stance amid heightened geopolitical risks and uncertainty surrounding global oil prices, with a commitment to adjust it based on macroeconomic developments. ## Liberal economic policy #### **Significant deleveraging in fiscal sector** - Liberty Act (effective January 2014) ensures a credible fiscal framework. Fiscal deficit/GDP capped at 3%; Public debt/GDP capped at 60%. - The general government debt has fallen to 34% of GDP at the end of 2025, lowest since 2014, driven by sustained economic growth and a relatively stable GEL, while the Fiscal deficit narrowed significantly to 1.4% of GDP in 2025. - Business friendly environment and low tax regime (reflected in favourable international rankings). ## Regional logistics and tourism hub #### **A natural transport and logistics hub, connecting land-locked energy rich countries in the east and European markets in the west ** - Access to a market of 2.8 billion customers without customs duties: Free trade agreements with EU, China, Hong Kong, CIS countries, Turkey, UAE and EFTA and GSP with USA, Canada and Japan; additional FTAs under negotiation or consideration, including Israel, South Korea and India. Export amounted to US$ 7.3 billion (+11.1% y-o-y) in 2025, followed by a robust 19.6% surge in 9M26. Moreover, transportation service exports increased on average 21.7% during 2022-2025, due to the increased importance of the Middle Corridor. - Tourism continues to be a significant source of FX inflows and an important contributor to the current account balance. In 9M26, the number of international visitors rose slightly by 0.1% y-o-y to 5.3 million, while tourism revenues increased by 4.4% y-o-y to US$ 3.8 billion. Strong tourism revenues from EU more than offset weaker inflows from the Middle East amid heightened geopolitical tensions. ## Investor confidence #### **An influx of foreign investors on the back of the economic reforms have boosted productivity and accelerated growth** - In August 2026, S&P Global Ratings affirmed Georgia’s ‘BB’ sovereign credit rating and revised the outlook to Positive from Stable, reflecting deleveraging, resilient economic growth and the accumulation of international reserves. - Foreign direct investment (FDI) increased by 19.3% y-o-y to US$ 1.9 billion in 2025 (5.0% of GDP). In 1H26, FDI inflows amounted to US$ 0.75 billion or 3.8% of GDP. FDI has averaged 7.4% of GDP over the last 10 years. ## Support from international community #### Georgia was granted the EU candidate status in December 2023 - Georgia and the EU signed an Association Agreement and DCFTA in June 2014.** **Visa-free travel to the EU is another major success in Georgian foreign policy. Georgian passport holders were granted free visa entrance to the EU countries from 28 March 2017. - Georgia submitted application to join the EU, and on 14 December 2023, the European Council granted the candidate status to Georgia. ## Electricity transit hub potential #### **Developed, stable and competitively priced energy sector** - Black Sea Submarine Cable (BSSC) Project, which intends to link Caucasus electricity to EU via an underwater high-voltage transmission network, will significantly increase Georgia’s potential to become electricity transit hub. - Georgia imports natural gas mainly from Azerbaijan. - Significantly boosted transmission capacity in recent years, a new 400 kV line to Turkey and 500 kV line to Azerbaijan built, other transmission lines to Armenia and Russia upgraded. ## Stable political environment - Georgia underscored its commitment to European values by securing a democratic transfer of political power in successive parliamentary, presidential, and local elections and by signing an Association Agreement and free trade agreement with the EU. - New constitution amendments passed in 2013 to enhance governing responsibility of Parliament and reduce the powers of the Presidency. - Member of WTO since 2000, allowed Russia’s access to WTO; In 2013 trade restored with Russia. - In 2025, Russia accounted for 10% of Georgia’s exports and 10% of its imports, while exports to and imports from the EU accounted for 12% and 25%, respectively. ### Why We Invest in Georgia Leading economy in the region on the back of wide sector activities. ### Looking for Great People We are always looking for great people to join our team. ### Looking for Opportunities We are always looking for new opportunities to grow and expand our operations. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://georgiacapital.ge/about-us/investment-opportunity#webpage", "url": "https://georgiacapital.ge/about-us/investment-opportunity", "name": "Investment Opportunity", "inLanguage": "en", "isPartOf": {"@id": "https://georgiacapital.ge/#website"} } ``` ## Sitemap See the full [sitemap](https://georgiacapital.ge/sitemap.md) for all pages.
