International rating agency Moody’s projects that Georgia will achieve 6% economic growth in 2026, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Vakhtang Tsintsadze announced.

According to Vakhtang Tsintsadze, when assessing Georgia’s sovereign rating, Moody’s focuses on the country’s sustainable macroeconomic and fiscal parameters, a significant increase in international reserves, and a reduction in the current account deficit.

“Moody’s has completed its periodic review of Georgia’s sovereign rating. The report emphasizes that macroeconomic and fiscal parameters remain strong despite external shocks. It is noteworthy that the agency forecasts 6% economic growth in 2026, which is among the highest compared to peer countries,” Tsintsadze said.

He added that the review also underscores a substantial improvement in the current account deficit, which, according to Moody’s estimates, will stand at 2.9% of GDP in 2025.

The Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development noted that the agency positively assessed the government’s macroeconomic policy, highlighting that Georgia’s economy grew by 7.5% in 2025—one of the highest rates globally.

“We expect the positive trends observed in the Georgian economy over the past five years to continue in 2026,” Tsintsadze said.
