The vigorous momentum of economic activity observed in 2025 has continued into 2026, with January’s growth rate reaching 7.9%. According to Vakhtang Tsintsadze, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, significant contributions to this growth came from sectors such as education, information and communication, as well as financial and insurance services.

The Deputy Minister emphasised that positive foreign trade trends have been crucial, with exports rising by 19% to reach USD 480.4 million.

He drew particular attention to the surge in local exports, which accounted for 68% of total exports, reaching USD 312 million.

Furthermore, Tsintsadze underscored the acceleration of major state infrastructure projects in 2026, which he believes will further bolster the pace of economic growth and reinforce the country’s positive economic trajectory.

“We expect that the high rate of economic growth will be maintained in 2026, thanks to the correct and consistent economic policies implemented by the Georgian government,” said Vakhtang Tsintsadze.
