In Georgia, in the first quarter of 2026, revenue from fines for violating traffic rules reached 79.7 million lari, equivalent to approximately $80 million. According to data from the Treasury of the Ministry of Finance, this is more than double the figure for the same period last year.
Of the total amount, 31.9 million lari went to the central budget, while 47.8 million went to municipal budgets. Compared with the first quarter of 2025, the increase amounted to 105%, or about 41 million lari in additional revenue.
An additional surge in revenue is expected after May 1, 2026, when amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses come into force. They provide for a significant increase in fines for speeding, improper parking, using a phone while driving, and other violations — in some cases the increase reaches several hundred and even thousands of percent.
