According to Geostat, in April 2026, annual inflation in Georgia was 5.9%, and monthly inflation was 1.7%. Core inflation (excluding volatile goods) was significantly lower at 3.5%, and without tobacco, it was 3.2%. The main drivers of price growth were transport (+4.9%) and housing and utility services (+5.8%). Car operation, fuel, electricity, and gas prices increased significantly.
In third place were clothing and footwear (+5.3%). Food products showed moderate growth (+0.5%), with noticeable price increases for fruits, vegetables, sugar, and fish. Inflation was partially curbed by lower prices for milk, cheese, eggs, and non-alcoholic beverages.
Despite the acceleration of annual inflation, the indicators remain within relatively controlled limits. Experts note that external factors and seasonal tariff changes made the main contribution to the growth. Authorities continue to monitor the situation to prevent further price acceleration.
