Georgian PM: Georgia’s economy surpassed ₾100 billion for the first time in history

Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Friday said Georgia’s economy exceeded ₾100 billion ($38.7 billion) for the first time in history in 2025, adding that the country had maintained a strong pace of economic growth this year.

In his annual address to the Georgian Parliament, Kobakhidze noted that Georgia’s economy expanded by 7.5% in 2025, growing by $3.9 billion over the course of the year.

“For the first time in history, Georgia’s economy surpassed ₾100 billion ($38.7 billion), reaching ₾104.6 billion ( $38.7 billion). When the Georgian Dream came to power in 2012, the economy was worth less than ₾28 billion, and just five years ago, in 2020, it stood below ₾50 billion. This means our economy has doubled in lari terms over the past five years and grown even more in U.S. dollar terms due to the stabilisation and strengthening of the national currency”, Kobakhidze said.

He added that Georgia’s economy grew from $16 billion in 2020 to $38.1 billion in 2025, while the average annual growth rate over the past five years reached 9.3%.

According to the Prime Minister, preliminary data for January-April 2026 show economic growth of 8.2%, indicating that the country has maintained its strong growth momentum.

“Our key priority remains preserving this high rate of economic growth”, Kobakhidze concluded.
