According to the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, the World Bank has revised upward its assessment of Georgia’s economic growth for 2025 as well as its forecast for 2026.

Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Vakhtang Tsintsadze stated that the World Bank increased its estimate of Georgia’s economic growth for 2025 by 1.5 percentage points, noting that this once again confirms that Georgia’s economic performance in 2025 exceeded the World Bank’s earlier expectations.

According to Tsintsadze, the forecast for 2026 has also been revised upward.

“We see that the forecast for Georgia’s economic growth in 2026 has increased by 0.5 percentage points and, according to the World Bank, will reach 5.5 percent. The projected economic growth rate for Georgia in 2026–2027 is approximately 1.6 times higher than the average rate for other EU candidate countries. It is also noteworthy that over the past five years, Georgia’s economic growth has consistently exceeded the forecasts of international financial institutions,” Tsintsadze said.

The Deputy Minister emphasized that maintaining this positive trend remains a key objective.

“Our goal is to sustain this momentum in the coming years and ensure high economic growth. This will have a positive impact on the well-being of our citizens and will contribute to strengthening the country’s competitiveness and improving its international standing,” Tsintsadze added.
