The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has concluded the 2026 Article IV consultation with Georgia.
In this regard, the IMF published a report, according to which the financial institution has revised its forecast for Georgia’s economic growth upward to 6.5%.
“Despite elevated global uncertainty, including from the war in the Middle East, Georgia’s economy remains resilient, supported by sound macroeconomic management and strong policy buffers.
Growth is expected to remain strong, though moderating, while inflation would stay above target till mid-2027 and the current account deficit would widen temporarily. Public debt is expected to remain at prudent levels, while reserve coverage would strengthen further.
Policy priorities include bringing inflation back to target, continuing to build reserve buffers, strengthening central bank and state-owned enterprise governance, and advancing reforms to support job creation and competitiveness,” the IMF report said.
