“Economic growth in April stood at 6.2%, whilst the average growth figure for January to April reached 8.3%. The Georgian Government continues to work towards sustaining the high economic growth trend,” stated Vakhtang Tsintsadze, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, in his assessment of the economic growth figures for April and the first four months of the current year.

According to the Deputy Minister, economic growth in April 2026 is notably diversified, with significant positive contributions from the manufacturing industry, information and communications, transport and storage, education, healthcare, trade, and the financial and insurance sectors.

Vakhtang Tsintsadze also highlighted that this growth is fueled by positive trends in foreign trade, with record-breaking export figures. Exports have increased by 21.1% to USD 2,439.9 million, while domestic exports have surged by 73.5%, amounting to USD 1,551.0 million.

“The Georgian Government continues its work to sustain the existing high economic growth trend, which is the most natural path to job creation. Several state programmes are actively operating in this direction; noteworthy among them are programmes aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises, which are currently being refined and given renewed substance,” said the Deputy Minister of Economy.

In summarising the current economic data, Vakhtang Tsintsadze also emphasised that Georgia holds a competitive advantage over other countries in the region; among other things, Georgia has free trade agreements with both the European Union and China. He further noted that Georgia remains attractive to both international and domestic investors.

“All of the above is underpinned by the Georgian Government’s sound economic policy, fiscal discipline, prudent monetary policy, and the overall health of the financial sector, qualities that numerous international financial institutions and rating agencies consistently highlight in their assessments. Accordingly, we expect that the high economic growth trends recorded in the Georgian economy over the past five years will continue both in 2026 and in the years ahead, and that Georgia will stand out not only at the regional level but on a global scale in terms of economic growth,” said Vakhtang Tsintsadze.
