Georgia’s economy grew by 6.4% year-on-year in May 2026, edging up from 6.2% in April. Activity was underpinned by solid performances in several key sectors, with financial and insurance services, information and communication, manufacturing, and transportation and storage acting as the main drivers of growth, while the construction sector continued to contract. Over the first five months of 2026, average real GDP growth reached 7.8%.
External trade also remained supportive. Exports rose by 19.8% year-on-year to $3.11 billion in January–May, while imports declined by 1.9% to $7.33 billion. As a result, total merchandise trade turnover increased to $10.44 billion, up 3.7% compared with the same period a year earlier.
