Georgia's economy accelerated: exports are growing at double-digit rates

Industry, logistics, and tourism pulled GDP higher despite a decline in construction

According to a preliminary estimate, Georgia's economy grew by 7.5% in 2025. These figures were presented by Geostat Executive Director Gogita Todradze. In December, real GDP growth amounted to 7.2% year-on-year, confirming sustained positive momentum at the end of the year.

The key contribution to economic growth in December came from manufacturing, information and communication, transport and logistics, as well as hotels and restaurants. These sectors offset the decline in activity in the construction sector, which, unlike the other areas, showed negative dynamics.

Foreign trade also demonstrated a noticeable revival. In December 2025, exports of goods increased by 22.5% compared with the same period of the previous year, while imports grew by 8.8%. Overall for the year, exports rose by 11.2%, and imports by 9.7%, which became an additional factor supporting the country's economic growth.
