The National Bank of Georgia continues to focus on replenishment of reserves. It’s worth mentioning that in the reporting period NBG continues to bolster its reserves due to favorable market conditions. Net purchases made $101.7 million in March, $266.4 million in April, $245.4 million in May, $266.0 million in June, $416.9 million in July, and $199.6 million in August.

International currency reserves are an important guarantor of the country’s macroeconomic stability. The central bank’s long-term policy has always been to accumulate international reserves and effectively manage reserve assets, as evidenced by the September data.
As of September 2025, gold accounts for 16.2% (US$877.8 million) of total international currency reserves. As a result of the change in the gold price, the value of monetary gold has soared by US$ 377.8 million since its acquisition, which confirms the soundness of the National Bank’s strategy to diversify reserves.
The National Bank of Georgia will publish updated data on official international reserves on November 5, 2025.
