“Business activity in the country is displaying a positive dynamic. This is having an impact on the growth of both domestic product exports and re-exports, which in turn is being reflected favourably in the economic growth rate,” stated Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Vakhtang Tsintadze, in his assessment of Georgia’s foreign trade figures for the first four months of 2026.

According to the Deputy Minister, a record export figure was recorded during the reporting period.

Vakhtang Tsintadze highlighted the figures for the first four months of this year, emphasising that export volumes increased by around 21% in January–April, achieving a historic record.

Vakhtang Tsintadze drew particular attention to the data for the first four months of the current year, noting that export volume grew to a record high by approximately 21% in January–April.

“Economic growth is the principal factor that ensures the creation of new jobs in the country, the growth of household incomes, and the generation of economic prosperity more broadly,” the Deputy Minister stated.

According to Tsintadze, support for domestic production, government programmes, and free trade agreements is facilitating Georgian products’ entry into international markets and fuelling the creation of new employment opportunities.

“Domestic production is precisely the area that generates high added value in the country, attracts foreign investment, and puts people to work. In addition, several state programmes are in operation, directly focused on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises. I would also highlight the free trade agreements, which allow local entrepreneurs to bring their products to international markets under preferential trading terms,” said Vakhtang Tsintadze.

It is worth noting that Georgian exports grew by 21.1% in January–April 2026, reaching a record USD 2,439.8 million. The figures are equally record-breaking for April alone, when export volume rose by 16.1% compared with the same period last year, reaching USD 716.2 million.
