“Remarkably high levels of economic activity were recorded in Georgia during the first two months of 2026, with average economic growth reaching 8.4 per cent. Meanwhile, revised figures for 2025 confirm that the country achieved real growth of 7.5 per cent over the course of last year,” announced Vakhtang Tsintsadze, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development.

The Deputy Minister further highlighted that between 2021 and 2025, Georgia’s average economic growth stood at 9.3 per cent, while the roughly 3.5 per cent average recorded over the same period by other EU candidate countries.

“It is also worth noting that Moldova’s average economic growth between 2021 and 2025 was 2.5 per cent, meaning Georgia’s growth rate was nearly four times higher. This is reflected in the numbers: Georgia’s GDP per capita, measured by purchasing power parity, now exceeds Moldova’s by approximately 60 per cent,” said Tsintsadze.

Regarding the outlook, the Deputy Minister expressed confidence that Georgia’s robust growth trajectory would be maintained in the coming years, despite the challenges facing the global economy.

“We expect that Georgia will remain a leader in economic growth, not only among the countries of our region and of Europe, but on the global stage as well,” Tsintsadze declared.
